A child’s version of the original Pumpkin Spice Sweater, which is knitted from the top down, in the round with raglan increases to make the sleeves, featuring a stunning waffle-stitch texture. Once the body and sleeves are separated, you will continue working the round to finish the body. The sleeves are then worked by picking up stitches from the separated body, and continuing the waffle-stitch texture, tapering the sleeves with a series of decreases for a fitted look, the ribbing on the body is worked in half twisted rib. In sizes 0-6 months to 8-10 years. Pattern support is available, please message me via macraftsproducts@gmail.com.

As this sweater is knitted in the round, if you think your tension might change, I recommend knitting the gauge swatch in the round for a more accurate measurement. Gauge is after blocking.
