This is a simple, fun sweater for cooler months. The shaping is minimal, with a shawl collar and raglan sleeves. The self-striping yarn from Ella Rae Amity Prints does all the colorwork for you, and since it comes in so many beautiful colorways, you might find, like me, that you can’t resist knitting more than one! I started out knitting a size 6-9 month sweater, and I enjoyed it so much that I redesigned it for 3-6 months and 9-12 months.
