This is designed to be a fun and simple make! A great basic sweater for the beginner knitter. It is the perfect cozy knit for your little one.

Each piece is knitted flat. It is then partially stitched together, with the neckline added at the end before fully stitching your piece together - however if, like me, you dislike purl rows then there is a modification at the end of the pattern to knit it partially in the round until the raglan shaping.
