Pattern description from Interweave Knits: “Free-form daisies and colorful stripes provide vibrant movement for Kristin Nicholas’s simple child’s sweater. For texture, Kristin has worked the stripes in reverse stockinette stitch separated by single rows of stockinette stitch at the color changes. Small bobbles at the edges of the body, sleeves, and high neck add to the fun.”
