Ready for School Picture Day? If you love knitting for kids, the patterns in “Back to School Knits”, an e-booklet of 3 patterns inspired by school motifs, are projects you’re sure to enjoy making. “Composition Cardigan” is a shawl collar sweater with an optional intarsia nameplate. Knit from the bottom up with a strand of white and black fingering weight yarn head together, this cardigan is reminiscent of composition books carried by students of all ages. “Penmanship Pullover” is a simple, top-down raglan sweater in DK weight yarn that harkens back to the paper on which student practice writing. “Eraserhead” is a rolled hem hat with knit/purl details using bulky weight yarn and made to look like the humble yellow pencil!

Sized for children age 4-12, with fun details and a lot of humor, the patterns in “Back to School Knits” will send a child you know out into the world with a bit more style, a big smile, and a lot of handmade love.
