This is a simple children sweater worked in a top-down raglan yoke. It is worked continuously in turned rounds with the beautiful and simple moss stitch, which is simple and meditative stitch pattern that works up fast.

You can easily customize it in sleeve and body length if needed.

The design works best with a yarn that offers a little amount of stretch, like acrylics, alpaca-mixes or wool-mixes.
