Top Down Child's Sweater
This Top Down Sweater has no seams on the inside and soft rolled hems and neckline. With a big wide neck it is easy to pull on and can be worn either way round as the back and front are the same. It is great for kids with sensory processing disorder - or just for those who like soft and comfy sweaters. Because it is worked Top Down the sleeves and hem can be finished at any length - it could even be made into a tunic or dress.
This is from a collection of sewing and knitting patterns created especially for children with sensory processing disorder.
It is worked on a set of four double pointed needles or circular needles and can be worked in any standard Aran weight yarn, but I have used Cashmerino Aran by Debbie Bliss.
