Designed by Siân Brown, this fun DK summer top uses intarsia colourwork and fits ages 0-7 years

Use a soft cotton-blend DK yarn to knit a cool summer top for babies, toddlers and children. This easy knitting pattern for children uses knit and purl stitches in rib and stocking stitch. The sleeves are worked as part of the body so there’s less sewing up to do and less bulk under the arms to ensure a greater level of comfort for your youngster.
