DESCRIPTION
This child’s sweater comes in a ton of sizes and options. It’s a circular yoke top-down construction: you can decide if you like a plain stockinette stitch sweater with nearly invisible increases or if you prefer a summery, eyelet increase or or a textured nupp increase. You can also choose from a range of options for the sleeves: short sleeves or straight or shaped long sleeves. You can mix and match as you prefer.
