- Descripción:
Un sweater clásico con un diseño atemporal que gustará ¡a grandes y chicos!

Su lindo punto texturado se compone sólo de 2 vueltas que se repiten a lo alto, por lo que es muy fácil de tejer.

Es muy calentito y, el remallado y cierre del cuello, permite que sea muy fácil de poner. Pero lo mejor es que lo puedes tejer una y otra vez a medida que los niños van creciendo, porque las instrucciones están ¡hasta los 14 años!

- Acerca del Patrón:
Se teje cada pieza por separado desde abajo hacia arriba. Una vez tejidas ambas piezas del cuerpo, se cosen los hombros y se levantan puntos para tejer las mangas, las que se tejen abiertas. Finalmente se levantan puntos alrededor de todo el escote para tejer el cuello.

- Description:
Alfonso sweater is a timeless children’s garment featuring an all-over textured stitch, and a clean, classic silhouette.
Worked flat from the bottom up in separate pieces, the construction offers structure and definition while remaining approachable and enjoyable to knit. The textured fabric creates a soft yet subtly structured surface, adding visual interest without complexity.
The sleeves are picked up and worked flat and the neckline is finished with a refined decorative detail before the ribbing, providing a polished and thoughtful finish.
Designed for everyday wear, this sweater is comfortable, versatile, and ideal for showcasing solid or natural yarns. A modern classic for babies and children, available in sizes from 6 months to 14 years.
