If you eat your veggies, you’ll grow big and strong. In fact, you might grow so fast that mommy can’t keep up with her knitting: by the time she finishes her project, you’ve grown out of it already. Well, no more with this sweater. It’s a no-nonsense, straightforward knit so it doesn’t take long to knit, and because of the ribbing you’ll have lots of room to grow. This sweater is knit in DK yarn, so it’ll be warm but not too warm, and you’ll always look cool as a cucumber.

The sweater is knit in the round, with raglan decreases worked so that the ribbing seems to continue around a corner at the shoulders. It has a polo collar, buttons optional. The underarms are grafted, the end result is seamless.

Size: 12M to 3T
Gauge: 20 st to 10 cm/4”
Yarn: DK, ~150 m/50g ball
3 balls (2 for the smallest size)

You’ll need a circular needle to give you the right gauge (suggested size: 3.5 mm), and DPNs or a second circular needle (whichever you prefer) for the sleeves.
