Your little one might be too young to make the team, but it’s never to early to show your school spirit! This bottom-up sweater is worked in the round up to the sleeves, with a pocket worked seamlessly into the sweater. The shawl collar adds a look of sophistication while he pocket in the front keeps small hands warm at the local football game. Moss stitch creates a cushy texture with extra warmth. Sweet Georgia Worsted ensures a quick knit that will be ready just in time for the school year. The autumn breezes are blowing in… time to make Junior Varsity!
