Gathering Stripes Sweater
The one and only striped favourite that goes with everything and suits every kid! Worked easily from top down with raglan sleeves.
This easy to wear sweater is worked from the top down in one piece. It’s knitted loosely for light weight, yet the big cowl-neck adds some warmth and texture to the piece.
