This is an easy sweater with minimal finishing: the sleeves are picked up and worked from the shoulder down, so there are only the side seams to finish, and the neck stitches are picked up and worked at the end.
The pattern is for sizes 6,12 or 18 months (finished chest measurement: 19"/21"/23") plus a matching hat.
The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn that will work up at 4 sts/1" in stockinette (straight) stitch on size 7 needles, and includes a graphed chart for the design.
The sweater is a roomy, drop-shouldered rollneck pullover with rolled cuffs. The matching hat has a ribbed bottom that fits over the ears comfortably without binding.
The sweater shown is worked in ecru with a pink watermelon slice; the rind is gradations of green, and black seeds are knitted in. The hat has a ribbed "rind" and is also worked in pink. This design takes on a very sophisticated look if you work the sweater in black.
