The Baby Bohéme Sweater is a classic Nordic circular yoke pullover for babies and toddlers, featuring a delicate geometric colorwork pattern.

The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. The body and sleeves are worked separately to the underarms, then joined for the circular yoke. Two decrease rounds shape the yoke, and optional German short rows can be worked at the back neck for an anatomical, comfortable fit. The neckline is finished with a classic 2x2 rib, and underarms are grafted with Kitchener stitch.
