This gorgeous pullover features a sprinkling of starlight around the neckline to bring a pop of colour to your child’s wardrobe. It is designed to give the impression of a random scattering of stars and the contrasting yoke works well with both solid, variegated and gradient yarns.

This pattern has both charted and fully written instructions available, with each step carefully laid out.
