This sweet simple top is made top down, seamlessly, with a round yoke and simple bobble detail.
Included are sizes for 2-10 year olds approx

Designed to be slightly cropped with a small amount of positive ease, you could size up if your intended recipient prefers a loose style, and the pattern includes notes on where to add rows if you prefer more length.

Suitable for a confident beginner, willing to take the time to track stitch counts to keep the detail rows working out. This garment is worked top down joining on each row, so you need to watch you don’t accidentally add or loose stitches at the join.
