Pattern description

Jordana and her husband, Jeff, recently went on a romantic and intoxicating trip to Napa for a long weekend. They left their two-year-old son, Max, at home with his grandparents. They had a great time seeing all the vineyards and tasting all the wine. However, we all know how hard it is being away from our young children--Jordana missed Max terribly. So while Jeff drove from vineyard to vineyard, Jordana poured her energy and her heart into knitting this sweater for Max. Come Sunday night, not only did Max get his parents back but he had this fabulous new sweater to wear on Monday. It was so cute, we decided to size it up for bigger kids.

Yarn is worked double throughout the sweater--this means you should hold 2 strands of yarn together as though they are 1.
