Becca Kid's Sweater


A Free Crochet Pattern 


A while back did any of you take advantage of the Lionbrand mystery boxes? I did. I got one of the light boxes. When I saw the ice cream yarn I knew just what I wanted to do with it. Make a sweater for my daughter. I ended up having just the right amount of yarn, 3 skeins. The speckles are just the right amount to make it more interesting. I always love something with a bit of texture, and I think this stitch pattern is perfect.

I wanted a sweater that was really easy to construct, and seamless on the sides. The only seams in this whole sweater are at the shoulders, and the top of the hood. Because there is not a lot of seaming this sweater works up quick and it is easy to adjust the sizing to just how you want it.

I also want to remind you that there is a stitch tutorial for the stitch used in this sweater you can find it here: lateral braid stitch.
