This top will carry any active child through year-round wear. Its understated seed-stitch block pattern creates a neat grid texture that looks great with everything from leggings to jeans or a skirt. It is knit in Haydenville DK, an easy-care yarn that is ideally suited to children’s projects, and worked in pieces and seamed for structure. It is meant to fit with generous ease to accommodate a growing, active child. The garment features a scoop neck, short-row shaped shoulders, and ¾-length sleeves. Shaped patch pockets are worked separately and seamed to the front body during finishing, perfect for holding the small treasures that kids find everywhere.
