About Ari Kids Sweater
This pattern was inspired by Malabrigo new yarn weight Noventa. A not too bulky superwash merino wool that knits up fast and is incredibly soft.

Size
The fit a true to size, slightly relaxed 3–4 inch ease. If you’re looking for an oversize fit, knit the next size up.

• Child Size 2 (4,6,8,10) fit chest circumference of 21 (23,25,26.5,28) inches.
• Finished chest circumference will be 24 (26,29,31,32) inches.

Knitting Needles
• Size US 10/6mm DPN and 16” & 24” circular needles. These will be used for cuffs, bottom, and neck ribbing. If using magic loop, a longer circular needle will work and eliminate need for DPN
• US 11/8mm circular needles 16”, 24”, 32” and DPN. Body and sleeves are knitted in this size needle. The shorter circular needle work great when starting the yoke before moving on to longer needles as stitches increase. DPN are needed for
knitting sleeves in the round. If using magic loop, you don’t need DPN.

Yarn
Malabrigo Noventa 90yd/125g 3(4, 5,6,6) skeins.
