This is an easy sweater with minimal finishing: the sleeves are picked up and worked from the shoulder down, so there are only the side seams to finish, and the neck stitches are picked up and worked at the end.
The sweater is a roomy, drop-shouldered rollneck pullover with rolled cuffs. The matching hat has a ribbed bottom that fits over the ears comfortably without binding.
The pattern is for sizes 6,12 or 18 months (finished chest measurement: 19"/21"/23") plus a matching hat. A pattern is also available for sizes 2(3) years (finished chest measurement: 25/27").
The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn that will work up at 4 sts/1" in stockinette (straight) stitch on size 7 needles, and includes a graphed chart for the design.
The sweater shown is white with the strawberry worked in red, yellow, and green. The hat is shown in red with yellow and green accents.
