Skipper Sweater (2-8 yrs)

Skipper is a timeless children’s sweater featuring a beautiful checkered pattern, a classic collar, and a button closure at the neckline. The graphic pattern is created using slipped stitches, so you only work with one color at a time. A lovely design where simple details come together to create a distinctive look.

Knit Skipper Sweater in Önling No 4, our fine, organic, and soft merino wool, or choose Önling No 2, an exceptionally soft, light, and airy merino wool. Both yarns are made from 100% merino wool. The sweater can also be knitted in Önling No 20, a classic Shetland wool with a more rustic character.
