Daydreamer

Inspired by traditional Icelandic lopi sweaters, the Daydreamer knitting pattern offers a modern twist on a classic favorite. This charming sweater is expertly knitted in the round, featuring a unique design that includes separately worked sleeves and body, which are finally joined to create a stunning circular yoke. The pattern incorporates raglan decreases and short row shaping to ensure an optimal fit for children aged 2-3 years but is adaptable for various sizes. The highlight of the Daydreamer is its eye-catching stranded chevron yoke, making it an enjoyable and creative project for knitters of all skill levels.

Perfect for stash busting, the Daydreamer knitting pattern provides endless creative possibilities! Use just two colors alternating in the yoke for a simple yet striking look, or create a beautiful gradient effect, a vibrant rainbow, or any combination of colors that inspires you. This project is designed using fingering weight yarn and is intended to be worn with 2-4" / 5-10 cm of positive ease, allowing for a comfortable and stylish fit. The sample size measures 2-3 years, making it an excellent choice for young ones.
