Soft Structure for Children
Soft Structure for Children
Everyday, three-season kid's pullover knitting pattern
The Soft Structure pullover features simple cables on the body, while the sleeves showcase wedges of contrasting panels of reverse stockinette stitch. A gentle and modest v-neck collar is finished with a peek of ribbing, and the curling stockinette stitch bind-off echoes the texture in the sleeves and body.
