PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

• This Kara Kid’s Sweater is made as one rectangular piece with a neck hole and the sleeves are crocheted on to the sides. Seaming is required from the sleeve cuff down to the bottom hem and the turtleneck and the sleeve cuffs are made separately and sewn on.
• The turtleneck is optional and the sweater can simply be finished as a crew neck by doing a finishing round of slip stitch around the neck opening.
• If you are familiar with how to create perpendicular ribbing right on to your project, by all means, you can do this for the sleeve cuffs and the turtleneck. For the sake of this pattern, however, I have written it as separate cuffs and turtlenecks being created and sewn on.
• The textured stitch in this sweater is the Even Moss Stitch, but for the purposes of this pattern, I will just refer to it as alternating SL ST & HDC in every 2nd row.
• Turning chains do NOT count as a stitch.
• Use the following Size Key (SK) indicated in parentheses in reference to the size you are crocheting: (SK: 2Y, 4Y, 6Y, 8Y, 10Y) – I suggest taking a highlighter to mark the appropriate sizing references for the size you’re crocheting, to make it easier to follow the pattern
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row
