This pattern is great for an intermediate crocheter; a try-on-as-you-go piece with seamless construction and a easy drawstring that cinches up the top and sides for foolproof sizing. I have actually made the same size in a medium women’s for myself as a cropped sweater AND it fits my 8 year old niece! Sleeves are made from the neck down so you may decide the length. Top down design allows also for additional length. Sweater has a fluid butterfly appearance Made with #5 Crochet Thread by Bernat in Warm Tan, but you
may also use any lace weight #2 yarn.

Fitting is very simple as a drawstring may be cinched less or more according to your little girls size, and the sleeves may be tried on as you work.
