Fox Sweater Kids pattern (English)

This pattern is in English. You will receive it as a PDF file via email immediately after purchase.

The Fox Sweater is a classic raglan sweater with beautiful details. It features a wide raglan yoke in seed stitch that continues all the way down, creating a lovely seed stitch pattern along the sides. The delicate pearl pattern also runs along the underside of the sleeves, where twisted decreases frame the design.

The sweater is knit from the top down. The neckline is worked first in a double rib, designed to provide a highly elastic and comfortable fit for children. The yoke is knit in the round with raglan increases. Afterward, the body and sleeves are separated and finished individually, either using the magic loop method on a circular needle or with double-pointed needles.

This sweater requires no seaming or finishing—perfect for easy and enjoyable knitting.
