Child’s Sideways Knit Pullover

This easy sweater is worked from side-to-side – no intarsia needed for the stripes! There is an optional back neck slit, which comes in handy for smaller sizes. And the pattern goes up to size 20 to accommodate plus sizes and older kids! Work the coordinating adult’s pattern (#147) to match.
