This sweater is great for boys or girls, and ideal for using up yarn when you don’t have enough to make a full sweater! I chose traditional cream for the body, and a denim blue for the sleeves. You can make it solid, or mix-and-match colours as you please. The saddle shoulders are roomy and comfortable for active toddlers. The neckband is also roomy, making this easy to put on and remove at playtime. Ideal for slipping on over a t-shirt or thin sweater when the weather turns cool. Conor is an Irish name, and means “dog lover.”
