Clever Hands Knitting Pattern 65

This is my first offering from a brand new children’s collection I am working on this year. The Whale Watch jumper is available in three sizes - 2, 4 and 6 years featuring a happy whale swimming in the waves. Worked in 8 ply, my prototype jumpers for this design have been a great hit with the little ones.

The pattern comes in three sizes 2, 4 & 6. The jumper provides for a range of knitting skills including basic ribbing and stocking stitch; a 16 row pattern using 3 colours, and some picture or intarsia knitting depicting a whale and clouds on the front piece. Three clear graphs have been provided with the pattern, one for each size. This jumper pattern has been created for the knitter who has a good basic range of knitting skills and likes a bit of variety with their knitting. Sewing is required for the little whale’s eyes.
