This trendy color-block sweater is perfect for a child 3-9 months and so easy to make! Make up your own funky color combinations to make a bold, eye-catching top or stick to the neutrals for something chic and soothing. Even better, add a bright pop of color!

The sweater is worked flat, starting with the collar, and then seamed. The side-closure on the collar allows for easy dressing and adds some interest. The pattern includes plenty of photos and color coded instructions to help you along the way. This fast, easy pattern makes a great baby shower gift. Pair it with the matching hat for a cute and cozy outfit.
