📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Seaside Sweater
The Seaside Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases.
The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth while a button placket is created along the left front raglan line. Once the placket is complete, the work is joined and the rest of the sweater is worked in the round.
The sweater features stripes worked from the middle of the yoke and downwards.
The sweater is designed with approx. 15–20 cm of positive ease.
Choose a size based on the child’s chest measurement.
