Fresh Squeezed is a citrus-inspired slice of joy! There’s nothing like the pride of gifting a hand-knit sweater to a new arrival, and this baby pullover is as fun to knit as it is for a little one to wear. Simple stripes and a classic shape make a cozy, washable treasure for the lucky parents.

Who it’s for: Level 2, Finding Your Rhythm. If you’ve finished a few hats or cowls and can read your knitting, you’re ready for your first seamless garment. The sweater is worked from the top down in the round with simple stripes, using stitch holders for the sleeves. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.

Why you’ll love it:

• Seamless, so there’s no seaming and more time to knit
• Top-down, so you can check the fit and length as you go
• Just two colors of washable Ewe So Sporty merino
