This is the PATTERN based on a traditional ski sweater. The pattern included instructions for sizes 6 months through 2 years. The yoke pattern is easy to follow, knit in the round, and makes a great statement. The sheep pattern is a favorite for boys and girls, and is loved by all. It fits over the head, and is easy to wash. The green background against the white and black sheep makes this sweater stand out in the crowd, and the dark solid background of the body gives it a contemporary look. the French Knots on the sheep add the perfect finishing touch.

I have made this sweater many times, and it has been test knitted by others. The instructions include a chart and written directions. It uses three colors, and I always use a superwash dk yarn to achieve a clean look and a wearable sweater. It can be a perfect outer garment in fall and spring, or worn under a jacket in the winter. With the hat it makes a most impressive gift, one that can be passed down from child to child, from generation to generation.
