Friday Sweater Junior, Petite Knit. Knitting Pattern

This is a beautifully printed knitting pattern 
__________

When knit in a super wash yarn, this knitting pattern is not only a classic and stylish addition to your young one's wardrobe, but also wonderfully practical and easy care. A versatile classic for any gender. 

The Friday Sweater Junior is worked from the top down in broken rib with raglan increases. The neck edge is worked in rib and folded. Cuffs and hem are also worked in rib.

A great match for Sesia 4ply superwash merino yarn.  We have one knitted up on display in the store, and we love it!  See second image.
