The Coffee Sweater Mini has a repeating stitch pattern, with a slightly oversized fit. The soft yarn keeps the child warm, and the hand-dyed mohair gives it its own character. The cuffs sit closer to the wrist, so hands stay free for play.

How it is knitted

The back is worked in two shoulder pieces with back neckline shaping, then joined with a backwards loop cast-on.

The front is worked separately to shape the neck opening and create the sleeve openings.

The body is joined and worked in the round to rib.

Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked straight down, with decreases for a fitted cuff. The neckband is worked double at the end.

Fit

A slightly oversized children's sweater with 15–20 cm [6–8 in] positive ease at the chest and fitted twisted-rib cuffs that keep the hands free, which can be knitted double length and folded to last longer.

The fit is slightly oversized, with 15 to 20 cm positive ease.

I want everyone to trust and feel they can wear what they make from my patterns.
