Tip: Especially for the larger sizes, it is recommended to use Önling No 2 for a lighter sweater. A sweater made with 350 g of Önling No 14 is quite heavy for a 3-year-old.

Instructions:
The Baby Stripes Sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. There are two options for working this sweater: Either knit it in rows with a button placket on one shoulder instead of the raglan stitches, or you can knit it in the round from the start without closures. Especially for the smaller sizes, I recommend choosing the button placket to make dressing easier and more comfortable for both you and your baby. Additionally, it has a straight fit with stripe details and ribbed edges. It features a round neck that is shaped with short rows.
