In Celtic mythology, hares are shape shifters who can move between the physical and spiritual worlds. They bring luck, prosperity and abundance to those who see one.

After I designed the adult version of this sweater, I had many requests for a child-size version, so here we are! This sweater pattern spans 12 months through to 8 year-old size.

The sweater is knit top down, seamlessly, in the round in a light fingering yarn. It can be done in 2 or 3 different colours. Different charts are given for different age brackets, as well as detailed instructions and illustrations.

May this sweater work its magic for your kids and bring them all the blessings of the Celtic Hare.
