Calling all baby, toddler and child knitters!!

Named for the largest mountain range in Europe, this fun pullover will have you dreaming of holidays in the Alps. Channel your inner desire to travel to France, Italy, Switzerland or Germany this winter, and knit up a new sweater for the babies and kids in your life.

Alpine Peaks is a simple stranded colourwork pullover, with a contemporary vibe. Written in seven sizes, from 0-3 months right up to 6 years, you surely know a little one who would love to wear this.

Using DK or sport weight yarn and a bottom up, seamless construction, this fun project will fly off your needles. The colourwork is unfussy, adding just the right amount of interest and making your gorgeous kiddo the star of the show. Knit in seasonal colours, Alpine Peaks would be the perfect choice for a modern “Christmas Jumper”.
