Whatever the season, active kids need sweaters that are fun to wear and a snap to take care of. The designs on these pages are sized for tiny tots and bigger kids too - and both designs make great additions to any child’s wardrobe. The classic fleck-pattern pullover, left and below, sports a flock of sheep ambling aroudn the waist and cuffs. Bright, breezy colors in washable, sport yarn give this sweater a contemporary look for little girls. You may want to choose more traditional shades for the guys in your family.
