Poppy is knit seamlessly from the top down with a lovely lace and cable panel down the front. The instructions for the front panel are both written and charted. The result is a classic, feminine sweater that you will enjoy knitting as much as the recipient enjoys wearing it. The recommended yarn is soft, hard-wearing, and machine washable, which makes it a perfect choice for children’s sweaters.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
