Nishika means “kiss” in Hebrew. This top-down raglan sweater is a pleasure to knit for your own little one or someone else’s. Sized for newborn through 4 years old, this versatile pattern uses sock-weight yarn which is widely available in lots of amazing colorways.

The raglan increases can be done in kfb (knit front and back) for a plain look or a yarnover for a lacy look. The sweater knits up quickly, and the only finishing work is weaving in the ends.

NOTE: This is part of a collection with the baseball version. The collection includes the regular/striped and baseball version, for a total of 12 pages of detailed instructions and pictures. They cannot be purchased separately.
