The soft and oversized Basic Child’s Pullover gives kids room to grow and play. Valley Superwash from Valley Yarns lets it go in the washing machine without shrinking. Its simple shape provides a great blank canvas for a fun, freehand surface crochet initial that can be easily removed and redone for hand-me-downs.
