☾ The cozy sweater the whole family will actually wear

I love making clothes my kids will actually wear. The Wander Knit Sweater is for all genders, sized from 1 year old to adult 2X. And honestly, finding sweaters for boys can be hard, so this one fills that gap nicely.

It’s a relaxing knit worked top down in raglan style, perfect for kicking back with your favorite show. Work the yoke, place the sleeves on hold, finish the body, then come back for the sleeves.
