This pattern is inspired by the Sitkagreni tree, my favorite Christmas tree. I already have this pattern available in adult sizes and now it’s finally available as well in kids sizes.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.

Circular needles: 4mm and 5mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)

NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use 4,5mm or even 4mm I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.
