Little boys often prefer simple shapes and muted colours. In this lovely design Katya Frankel has fulfilled those first two wishes, but also made the knitting interesting, thanks to seamless construction and charming cables. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Blue Faced Leicester Aran, a single-breed pure wool which comes in 16 colours and is machine washable. It’s soft, but will stand up to the wear and tear small people require!’

Pattern written in 6 sizes to fit chest circumference 53.5 (56, 58.5, 61, 63.5, 66) cm / 21 (22, 23, 24, 25, 26) in. Actual chest measurement 59 (61, 63, 65.5, 67.5, 69.5) cm / 23 1/4 (24, 24 3/4, 25 3/4, 26 1/2, 27 1/2) in.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. Body and sleeves are joined together at the underarm after which raglan yoke is worked toward neck. Short rows are used to raise the back of the neck, the short-row instructions are included in the pattern. The cables are charted only.
