Sometimes active boys and girls need a bit more protection for their elbows and what is more practical than an extra layer? Whether learning to crawl or climbing trees, this sturdy striped sweater is an excellent choice. Created using our own award winning Deramores Baby DK, a soft and gentle baby yarn which is perfect for all types of baby knitting projects. Available in a carefully selected palette, there are plenty for you to choose from if you prefer different shades. The round necked sweater is knitted in stocking stitch with a double rib, and the stripes add extra interest. The practical elbow patches are knitted separately and sewn in place during making up. Instructions are to fit chest 16 - 26" (41 - 66cm), birth to 7 years. To complete the sweater you will need 3.25mm and 4.0mm (US3 and US6) needles, and 2 stitch holders.
