This adorable baby sweater pattern, available in 4 sizes to accommodate newborns up to 18 months, is a must-have for any knitting enthusiast. Designed to be knit in the round until armhole shaping, this pattern flawlessly transitions the front and back sections to be worked separately. The sleeves are crafted separately as well, featuring a beautifully shaped cap that is set in for a polished, fitted silhouette, making it perfect for special occasions or everyday wear. The use of Eastport Alpaca yarn—available in both factory and hand-spun options—adds a touch of luxury and unparalleled softness that is ideal for delicate baby skin.

This comprehensive knitting pattern is well-illustrated, ensuring that even novice knitters can follow along easily. Additionally, it includes a bonus tutorial that teaches the 3-needle bind-off technique, complete with numerous step-by-step pictures to guide you through the process.
