Geometric patterns reminiscent of children’s building blocks decorate this sweater, sized to fit little ones from 12 months to four years. Highlights of apple green in the ribbing and around the chest complement the blue and white design, while a chequerboard pattern is used around the yoke. A buttoned placket on the left shoulder adds a touch of practicality. It’s knitted in the soft and bouncy Fine Merino DK from Yarn Stories, which is available in 20 delicious shades.
