Blank Slate Child's Pullover
This is a simple crew-neck pullover in a DK weight with long sleeves. Worked bottom up, the main body is worked in the round, upper chest and back are worked back and forth. Pattern includes four suggestions to personalize the sweater with texture or colorwork. Sleeves are picked up from the armhole edge and work down, in the round. There are no seams or steeks in this pattern.
Infant sizes feature a buttoned shoulder to make it easier to dress the child.
Gauge: 22 sts/30 rows = 4”/10 cm on larger needles in stockinette stitch (Note: since part of this garment is knit in the round and part flat, it is recommended to do a gauge swatch both flat and in the round since different needle sizes may be required for each method.)
Sizes are for babies (3, 6, 12, 18 months) and child sizes 2-10.
