Harvey the Pooka is the 6 foot, 3 1/2 inch best friend of Elwood in the 1950 Jimmy Stuart film. Appropriately, this cardigan is a perfect companion to Elwood.

Knit from the top down, with raglan sleeves, a generous shawl collar and snappy pleated pockets, Harvey is sure to bring out the Little Old Man in all of us. Sized from 6 months to adult XL, Harvey can be knit for everyone!

The textured ribbing in the sample is laid out in the pattern, but modifications for a classic 2x2 rib are also given.

Get Harvey as part of the Little Old Man Collection (6 little old man patterns!!!) for only $28!
