Inspired by my love of camping, the outdoors, and going on an adventure with my family.

This design gives you so many choices. The pattern has instructions for short or long sleeves and yoke only or full colourwork instructions. (If yoke only is desired please note that the 2 smallest sizes have a wedge chart with only mountains, moons and stars, and the larger sizes have a wedge chart with trees and mountains, moons and stars. There is not enough room in the yoke for the other charts).

Sizes are for 6-12m (1-3yrs, 4-6yrs, 7-10yrs)
Finished measurements are:
20 (23, 26.5, 29.5) inches
50 (57.5, 66, 74) cm
This sweater is designed to fit with 2-5” (5-10 cm) positive ease.
To choose your size, take personal chest measurement, add desired ease, then select size from table which is nearest.
The model in the photo is 7yrs old, wearing the largest size with 5 inch (7.5cm) positive ease.

This pattern is a “choose your own adventure” where you get to decide what charts to use in your sweater. The wedge yoke charts are fixed images but after that, the design is up to you! There are 10 large charts that are interchangeable (Tent, RV, Vintage Trailer, Canoe and Paddles, Hammock x2, Outhouse, Hiker, Aurora, Forest), 2 medium size charts that can be interchanged (campfire & marshmallows and crossed axes) and 6 small charts to be used in between the larger ones.
