Sister Snowflakes
This stranded sweater was first designed and knit for my daughters to wear for Christmas. It is tunic length and looks great over leggings. It is available in two sizes – 2T/3T and 4T/5T, and it is easy to add or remove length for a custom fit. In addition, the sweater length and the sleeve lengths are easily adjusted for a different look. I used a soft machine-washable wool/nylon blend and the colors held just fine during blocking. It is knit in the round with no seams. I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I did!
