This baby sweater pattern is the perfect weekend project if you have a relaxing knitting weekend planned or if you need a baby gift for that upcoming shower. This roll-neck raglan design gives you three options for style (and difficulty). The plain raglan in traditional sock monkey colors will look “sock monkey” without screaming it. The duplicate-stitch design (shown on the baby) is easy enough for a beginner who has a few in-the-round projects under her belt. And the pictured toddler is wearing a sweater adorned with an intarsia square that would be a small and manageable introduction to intarsia. Charts for both the duplicate stitch and intarsia designs are included with the written instructions for making the rest of the sweater. Whatever you choose, mom will love seeing her little guy in this one-of-a-kind sweater!
