The Teeny Geena Sweater is the baby/children’s version of my Geena Sweater. It is knit top-down, with the top panels knit flat then connected to work in the round. It is mostly seed stitch with a big puffy folded collar.

There is a video to demonstrate how to start the sleeves with lots of tips that are helpful for the front and back panels. There are also links to videos for sewn tubular bind-off and the crocheted provisional cast on. I designed this sweater to be accessible to all - with the added videos this would be a great first or second sweater for a more adventurous beginner!
