Description

Any little man will be cool as a cucumber in this hipster sweater! It's hard to find these things in the thrift shop, so just make one... you get the style you want, and you get to pick the color and size.

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that I will email to you.

This pattern is originally from Spinnerin, Volume 150, published in 1962. This is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.

Directions are for VINTAGE Children's size 4, 6 and 8. Sizing is according to this chart from the original pattern book:

Children’s
Size 4 6 8 10 12
Chest 24” 26” 28” 30” 32”
Armhole Depth 4 ½” 5” 6” 6 ½” 7”

If you are crafty, you can probably adjust the pattern to fit larger or smaller sizes.
