Everyone remembers Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit’s invalid son in A Crhistmas Carol. At the end of the tale, a reformed Ebenezer Scrooge becomes like a “second father” to poor Tim. We think
Scrooge might have been generous enough to give Tim a warm wool sweater like this one.Tiny Tim includes several features that make this sweater special: the cable design down the back and the sleeves adds visual interest. The split-neck collar leaves plenty of room to fit over a baby’s large head. Best of all, this sweater is knit top-down, in the round. So there are few seams to worry about.

Finished measurements:

Chest: 1718,19,20
Length: 11.512.5,14,18

Note: These are standard CYC sizes for
babies. Our model, Julian (a tall 10-monthold),
is wearing the 12 month size.

Alternative yarns are suggested in the patterns, but any worsted weight, washable yarn will do!
