The Novice Sweater Junior is a beginner-friendly children's sweater pattern knit seamlessly from the top down. You'll begin with the neckband, work through the round yoke, then complete the body and sleeves—all without seaming.
This classic design features stockinette stitch throughout, with ribbed details at the neckband, waist band, and cuffs for a polished finish. The round yoke is shaped with increases on four evenly spaced rounds, creating a timeless silhouette that suits every child's wardrobe.
