This refined sweater design captures the beloved stitch and cable components of the Master Charles Cabled Ear Flap Hat. It’s worked in the round from the bottom up with set-in sleeves. Stitch pattern is surprisingly simple and you’ll delight in watching your progress. Just try not to slow down too much from all the project petting. Sweater modeled in size 18 months and finished with suede elbow patches that are available on the Tot Toppers website!
