Named for Ernest Shackleton, the sailor and Antarctic explorer, this sweater is sure to keep your little ones warm as they make their own explorations of the world. The simple shaping makes this pattern quick and easy to work up, while a striped band at the hem and cuffs adds interest. The pattern includes five sizes (from 0-24 months) and buttonhole instructions for both boy’s and girl’s versions.
