Kids Sweater Knitting Pattern

Knit a Horse Sweater for Kids

You want a sweater your child will actually love wearing, not just something you made and hoped would fit. This colorwork design gives you a piece with real charm, sized from toddler right up to almost ten years old.

The charts are clear and the sizing runs five ways, so you're not stuck guessing or adjusting halfway through the yoke.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 24.4–31.5" bust (62–80 cm), sizes 2–10 years

• Five sizes from 2 to 10 years, so you're not left guessing which one to make
• Worked in the round from the neck down with minimal seaming, for a smooth, steady knit
• Shaped back neck using short rows, so the neckline sits right instead of gaping

   "My daughter wore it three days straight. I still can't believe I actually finished a colorwork sweater."

Materials

• Yarn in three colors: one main color plus two contrast colors
• 3mm and 3.5mm needles (circular or double-pointed, depending on size)
• 3 stitch markers
• Tapestry needle
