Emory Sweater
The Emory sweater is gender neutral, with a playfully abstract yoke and relaxed fit through the sleeves and body. Emory is sized for children ages 1-10 years.
I gave Emory the same attention to detail that I give my adult sweater designs. Short rows below the yoke create a comfortable fitting neckline. The hemline features a bit of simple colorwork and the ribbing is knit using the contrast color. Recommended techniques such as an alternating cable cast on and sewn bind off are optional, but make for a beautifully finished heirloom-quality sweater if you choose to include them.
