The Apy child sweater knit pattern makes a warm and cozy pullover, perfect for layering on chilly days. Designed with a classic fit, this sweater features a stylish shawl collar with a button closure, adding both charm and practicality. The rich texture of tweed yarn enhances its timeless appeal, making it a great choice for both casual and dressy occasions. Sized for children from 3 months to 14 years, this pattern ensures a comfortable and well-fitting garment for growing kids. For those who love a coordinated look, an adult version is also available.

This sweater is worked from the bottom up in the round, minimizing seams for a smooth and professional finish. The body and sleeves are knit seamlessly before being joined at the yoke, where the signature shawl collar is shaped with short rows. The buttoned neckline adds a touch of refinement while keeping little ones snug. Whether you choose a rustic tweed yarn or a soft wool blend, this sweater will be a go-to piece for any child’s wardrobe.
