Top Sweater (3 mos - 6 yrs)

Top is a lovely, simple children’s sweater where garter stitch and decorative stripes form a beautiful geometric pattern. The small button closure at the neckline adds a charming detail, while the changing colors make the design truly special.

The sweater can be knitted in several beautiful wool yarns. We recommend Önling No 4 in 100% fine, organic merino wool or Önling No 2, our exceptionally soft and airy 100% merino wool. If you prefer a more rustic look, you can choose Önling No 20 in 100% Shetland wool.

Language: The pattern is available in English and Danish
