Cherub

Introducing the Cherub Sweater: a charming and delightful addition to your little angel's wardrobe! This enchanting piece can be crafted as a classic crew neck sweater or a sweet button-up cardigan. While the front presents a simple, unassuming design, just wait until you see the back! Each version features whimsical wings—be it angel, fairy, butterfly, or dragon, which transforms the sweater into a captivating surprise for children and parents alike!

For this stunning Cherub Sweater, I’ve chosen a luscious New Zealand-made DK weight yarn called "Prism." This organic wool is beautifully dyed with conventional dyes, offering vibrant, eye-catching colors that your children will love. Feel free to substitute any available DK weight yarn, just make sure you achieve the correct gauge for the perfect fit!

Here are the actual chest measurements for the child sizes:
40.5 (43, 48, 50.5, 57.5, 62.5, 66.25, 70) cm
16 (17, 19, 20, 22.75, 24.5, 26, 27.5)”
Yarn requirements: For this adorable Cherub Sweater, you will need Skeinz “Prism” organic DK yarn, which provides 104 metres (113.7 yards) per 50g (1.76 ounce) ball (visit www.skeinz.com for more details). You will need 2 (3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) balls of the main color (MC) and 1 ball of a contrast color (CC) to add that special touch.

If you opt for the cardigan version, choose buttons according to your preference—whether you want just one button at the neck or a full set of 5 (5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8). Make it as unique as your little one!

For knitting supplies, you will need circular needles: 1 x 3.25 mm (2 for cardigan) of any length, as the technique used is straight throughout. You will also need 1 x 4mm needle for the finishing touches.

Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, the Cherub Sweater is not just a garment but a heartfelt creation that celebrates the whimsical spirit of childhood. Start crafting this beautiful piece today and watch your little angel light up with joy!
