Classic drop shoulder reindeer sweater for children. This is the cover sweater for the booklet. Originally published in Norwegian with an English language insert.

Knit in the round with steeks for armholes.

Four sizes designed for children ages 6-12. Actual finished chest measurements 33¾ - 41 inches indicate that the sweater is meant to be oversized as was the fashion when the pattern was published. Keep this in mind when choosing a size.

A schematic is provided along with charts for the colorwork

Three colors are used. You will need 8, 9, 10, 11 skeins of the main color; 2, 3, 3, 3 skeins of a second color and 1 skein of an accent color.

24-29 inch circular needles in both sizes (or as needed to get gauge) and appropriate needles in the smaller size for your preferred method of knitting smaller tubes are needed.

There is also a pattern for a matching cap.
