Every child will love this warm and playful sweater in their fall and winter wardrobe! Daphne features romping sheep across the chest, a notch crew ribbed neckline, and striped ribbed hems. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up and then divided. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge after seaming the shoulders and worked in the round to the cuff. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK is made from 100% extra fine Merino, which makes it incredibly soft and a great choice for this pullover as the yarn is also machine washable. The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.
