I like to write simple instructions for classic sweaters. This pattern includes the instructions for the BOTH the Child’s and Adult’s sweaters, each with a choice of; 3 different necks, 2 different edges & plain or cable front. You get to choose your own styles and mix and match them as you please.
These sweaters have a roomy fit. The front and back are knit in pieces, then the shoulders are seen together and the sleeves are picked up and knit down.
Happy Knitting!
