Rockets to the Stars

Rockets to the Stars is the child version of the Rockets to Mars sweater, since children dream in bigger, more exciting ways. The sizes are in 3 in (7.5 cm) increments for the chest circumference because that is the width of a single Rocket motif. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with a 2x2 ribbed neckline. Optional short row shaping is added to the back of the sweater to shape the shoulders and neckline.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.

This pattern is designed to be worn with 1 in (2.5 cm) positive ease.
