The pattern is designed to challenge the experienced knitter who is comfortable working from multiple charts simultaneously, as well as performing decreases while staying in pattern.

This cozy heirloom sweater was designed for precious wee boys and girls from newborn through preschool ages, and is suitable for both everyday wear and the most special of occasions. * It features a variety of aran cable patterns on both body and sleeves, and even up into the hood. It’s finished with a three-needle bind off and a sweet little tassel. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up and the hood is knit from the neckline up. * Shown in 18 months (green) and size 2 (white).
