This sweater is a good project to learn how to do single striping. The Cashmerino Aran is soft and great yarn to knit with. And picking from all of the great colors will be half the fun. It took us 5 of each color for a 4 year old size.

We knit with two strands of Rowan Felted Tweed to make this mid-weight fall and winter sweater. The cute mock neck has a zipper for those very chilly days. We had so much fun choosing the color for the contrasing stripe and detail around the zipper. We used a total of 7 balls for a size 4-5 years. Click to see larger image to view another color way.

This cardigan is a great fall sweater. Knit in the new Torino Bulky which is 100% Merino Wool so it is lightweight but will keep the little ones warm. For a 4-5 year old size it takes 8 for the body and 1 for the collar and one for the button band. Click on the picture to see the girl's version.
