R27 Rialey’s Four-Seasons Sweater and Cap
** If you prefer there is a printed version available, CLICK HERE to purchase.
A unisex pullover sweater and matching cap for kids, sizes 2-10. The sweater features an enlarged neck that makes it easy to get on and off and “not get trapped.” The neck isn’t ribbed, but is rather a “band.” There is no distinction between the front and back of the sweater, because it sort of “pops on and off.” Depending upon the weather, a turtleneck or short-sleeved Tee underneath may be appropriate. The yoke is raglan style, sleeves can be shaped or knit straight until the cuffs, when one decreases dramatically. The ribbing ends in a rolled bind-off. The seasonal two-color design happens around the tummy, “Charlie Brown style,” and like the sleeves, the ribbed bottom of the sweater ends in a rolled bind-off.
