This pattern is available from etsy.com for $3.00.

The pullover is knitted top-down in the round using 8ply (DK) yarn, so it knits up quickly! It uses knit and purl stitches and yarns over, and has a stranded colourwork yoke. There are no seams, but the sleeves and collar require the use of either magic loop (on circular needles) or double-pointed needles.

This pattern is for size 12-18 months, and measures approximately 40cm (15 inches) long from shoulder to waist, 55cm (22 inches) around the chest, and 20cm (8 inches) from armpit to cuff. You will need 125-150g of the background yarn and 30-50g of the contrast yarn. I knitted it using 8ply cotton yarn, so the measurements and weights may vary if you use acrylic or wool.

The pattern calls for 3.5mm (size 4) and 4.5mm (size 7) needle sizes, as well as a large-eyed darning needle to sew in the ends.

The 2-3 yr size can be found on Etsy here.

There is a 4-5T (child-size) version of the pattern (colourwork text in yoke is slightly different) available at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easter-pullover-...
