This precious pattern is sized to fit girls from 6 months-size 4/5. It is designed to be knit using worsted or aran weight yarn for lots of snuggly warmth on these very cold days. Included in the pattern are options for a hip-length or dress-length sweater as well as your choice of either a collar, simple rounded hood or long, pointed pixie hood.

This pattern is an advanced beginner level and is a really great project for branching out and learning a few new tricks such as knitting cables. You’ll need between 400-850 yds of yarn to complete the sweater, depending on the size and options that you choose. You will also need two 24” circular needles in size 6 and 8, or the size needed to obtain the gauge of 5 st/in in stockinette.
