Stonewood Mini Pullover
The Stonewood Mini Pullover is the children’s version of the Stonewood pullover. The pullover is worked top-down and seamlessly in the round. Sizes 1/4-2 years feature a steeked neck opening to more easily get the sweater over the head. Meanwhile sizes 4-12 years have short-row shaped necks so the back neck is higher than the front.
The pattern features three cuff options: regular length, double folded length, and for sizes 1/4-2 years a double folded pocket cuff so the cuffs can be used as mittens.
I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support.

Construction
This simple colourwork pullover is worked seamlessly in the round, top-down. The smallest 5 sizes have a button opening on the side of the neck, created with a steek, to more easily get the sweater over the head. The largest 5 sizes have short-row shaping at the top of the yoke to make it sit higher at the back than the front.
The rest of the pullover is worked in plain stockinette stitch in the round, finishing off with rib for both the sleeves and the body. The cuff can be made with a fold-over pocket that works as mitts.
The steek stitches do not count towards your total stitch count, and should be secured using the crochet method before you cut through. If you have substituted with superwash yarn, you should secure the steek with sewing machine seams on either side.
