Harvest Sweater (child sizes 1-2y up to 9-10years) by Mon Petit Violon

The Harvest Sweater is worked top down. You start with the yoke, collar is worked later, and you begin with the best part of the sweater – leaves and bobbles.
Merino wool is suggested for this sweater, as it is very soft and stretchy, which is important, especially for smaller children, to stay warm and comfy.
The sweater is completely seamless.
