This “Little” version of the adult Sunup on 82nd sweater pattern offers the same pebbly texture in the raglan shaping and down the sides, with a simplified hem. Children who don’t like sweater textures against their necks will appreciate the generous neckline shaping. Little Sunup is worked seamlessly from the top down using a raglan construction, stitches are picked up for the collar.

This pattern includes a downloadable progress chart, which provides row-by-row stitch counts for the ‘at the same time’ shaping for the raglans and the neckline.
