I made this pullover especially for my little boy Dante, that is a fast crawling baby!
One of the most dangerous things for a crawling baby, in my opinion, is not arch stones or stairs, but a too long sleeve, that finishing under his hand let him fall on his face. For this reason I designed this pullover with long sleeves, but very precise, not too long. I saw also, looking at my baby crawling, that his pullovers where always too short on his back. When he is moving the arms, for crawling, the back of the pullover is moving by the way. So I made the body of the pullover a little bit longer. The back of our baby is saved from chill!

SIZE 9-12 months (80cm), to make a smaller size work with a half size smaller needle and a proper yarn.

What you need: 35gr Debbie Bliss Prima, color light green and 80 gr Sirdar Summer Stirpes, color Svannah 309, Needles 4 mm (knitting needles, circular needles and double pointed needles); 3 buttons

It is the first time that I write a pattern in English, if you find some mistakes please let me know and I will correct it!

Thanks and enjoy!
