This pattern is available 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 2-3T, and measures approximately 45cm (18 inches) long from shoulder to waist, 65cm (25 inches) around the chest, and 25cm (10 inches) from armpit to cuff. You will need 150-200g of the background yarn and 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.

I have also listed patterns using the same motif in sizes 0-6mos (cardigan), 6-12mos (cardigan), and 12-18mos (pullover).
