Playtime Sweater
Welcome to a delightful knitting adventure with this easy and fun basic sweater pattern, designed especially for beginner knitters! This cozy knit is perfect for your little one, making it an essential addition to their wardrobe. Each piece of this charming sweater is knitted flat for simplicity, and the construction is straightforward. You’ll start by knitting the body and sleeves, which are then partially stitched together. The neckline is added at the end before you fully complete the stitching for a polished finish. If you prefer to avoid purl rows like I do, you'll be pleased to find a handy modification at the end of the pattern that allows you to knit it partially in the round until the raglan shaping begins.
**Sizing Options:** The pattern includes a range of sizes, accommodating children from 0-6 months up to 10-12 years. Measurements (approximate) are as follows: Chest 46 (51, 54, 60, 66, 71, 74, 84) cm, Length 24 (28, 32, 37, 41, 47, 48, 56) cm, and Sleeve 15 (17, 20, 24, 29, 33, 33, 41) cm. This ensures that every child can enjoy the warmth and comfort of this cozy sweater as they grow!
**Yarn Requirements:** For this adorable sweater, we recommend using Rainbow Folk Chunky Yarn or any chunky weight yarn that matches the tension/gauge. The yarn requirements for each size are as follows: 100g for 0-6 months, 200g for 6-12 months, 300g for both 1 and 2-3 years, 400g for 4-5 years, 500g for 6-7 years, 600g for 8-9 years, and 700g for 10-12 years. Please note that the listed yarn weights specifically pertain to Rainbow Folk Chunky Yarn, but this pattern works beautifully with most chunky yarns. Yarn weights may vary between different brands, so it’s best to check your gauge before starting!
