This tunic length sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up using alternating pattern-row repeats of stockinette and reverse stockinette for an appearance of textured stripes. There is a ribbed open V-placket collar finished with a hood trimmed to complement the body and sleeves. Sleeves are knit in the round following the same stitch pattern as the body and the natural rolled hems make for a relaxed feel. Tips are included to extend the wear for a growing child.

The sweater is written to include 4 inches of ease.
