I am retiring from knit design due to progressive arthritis. Although I will no longer provide pattern support to my patterns that are now free, my patterns are edited and most have been test knit.

This release is the children’s version of my adult Wearever poncho. It is worked flat from the front hem to the back hem in one piece, working an opening for the head. A textured stripe is worked for the two largest sizes only. The neck edge is picked up and a double layer of textured fabric becomes the stand-up collar. Kid’s Wearever is designed with a shorter front length and is longer in the back. The length can be customized in the front just before working the neck opening and, in the back, just before adding the back-hem texture.

Children’s Small, (Medium, Large)
Note: Choose the size with the width that best matches the child’s elbow-to-elbow width measurement when the arms are outstretched to each side
