The sweater is worked from the top down all in one piece, making it easy to customize elements for their differing personalities. This is a great sweater that will carry them through the changing seasons from fall, through winter, and into the early days of spring. Knitted in Malabrigo, the finished sweater is warm and soft, great for their sensitive skin. In my family, it is a given that I will give wool sweaters that need to be hand washed, but feel free to use any yarn that knits at gauge.
The first option is shown in size 6 on my daughter and uses the daisy stitch with a hem, and a longer collar, option 2 is shown in size 2 on my son and uses the blackberry stitch for all of the edging and a shorter collar.
