Larger sizes are available in my new book: Great Knit Sweaters for Guys Big and Small. The pattern in the book is available for sizes 24-56” chest.

This relaxed pullover will become a staple in your child’s wardrobe. Garter stitch detailing at the sides and back neckline add a pop of interest without being too fussy. This is the perfect first sweater for a new knitter or a great auto-pilot knit for a more experienced one.

This sweater is worked entirely in the round. Sleeves are knit first, then the body is knit from the bottom up with sleeves joined at the yoke. The yoke is shaped with raglan decreases. EZ’s sewn bind-off completes the neckline with a great stretchy bind off.
