TODDLER GIRL'S SHORT SLEEVED PULLOVER
This sweater is yet another adaptation based on the 5 Hour Baby Sweater originally posted on Knit List. There are several adaptations on Bev’s Country Cottage.
SIZE: 12-18 months
Garment measures 25 inches around
MATERIALS:
MATERIALS:
Approximately 4 ounces worsted weight yarn
Size US 10 (6.0 mm) circular knitting needle
Markers
Tapestry needle
GAUGE: Approximately 4 sts to 1 inch
NOTES:
GAUGE: Approximately 4 sts to 1 inch
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. This pullover can fit a child up to about 4 years old just by making the body a few inches longer before starting the hem ribbing.
3. When joining the two edges I cut the yarn, so that the garter stitch stays uniform. If you don’t cut the yarn, but just continue across to the other edge you will have two knit or purl rows together and it does show a little. It bugged me, so I tried several ways of fixing it. The only thing I found to work satisfactorily was to cut the yarn and start over. A side benefit of doing it this way is I was able to reinforce the join with one of the tails.

BABY GIRL'S SHORT SLEEVED PULLOVER
This sweater is yet another adaptation of the 5 Hour Baby Sweater originally posted on Knit List. There are several adaptations on Bev’s Country Cottage.
SIZE: Garment measures 20 inches around
MATERIALS:
MATERIALS:
Approximately 3 ounces worsted weight yarn
Size US 10 (6.0 mm) 24 inch circular needle
Markers
Tapestry needle
GAUGE: Approximately 4 sts to 1 inch
SPECIAL STITCHES:
M1: Make a backward loop and place on right hand needle.
Increase (inc) 1 st in next st: Knit into front and back of that stitch.
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Sweater can be knit on a 29 inch circular, but is rather tight, the 24 inch is easier to work with.
3. When joining the two front edges I cut the yarn, so that the garter stitch stays uniform. If you don’t cut the yarn, but just continue across to the other edge you will have two knit or purl rows together and it does show a little. It bugged me, so I tried several ways of fixing it. The only thing I found to work satisfactorily was to cut the yarn and start over. A side benefit of doing it this way is I was able to reinforce the join with one of the tails.

TODDLER SHORT SLEEVED PULLOVER
This sweater is yet another adaptation of Gail Bable’s 5 Hour Baby Boy Sweater, which was based on the 5 Hour Baby Sweater originally posted on Knit List. There are several adaptations on Bev’s Country Cottage.
SIZE: 12-18 months
Garment measures 25 inches

2. This pullover can fit a child up to about 4 years old just by making the body a few inches longer before starting the hem ribbing.
3. When joining the two edges I cut the yarn, so that the garter stitch stays uniform. If you don’t cut the yarn, but just continue across to the other edge you will have two knit or purl rows together and it does show a little. It bugged me, so I tried several ways of fixing it.

If you don’t cut the yarn, but just continue across to the other edge you will have two knit or purl rows together and it does show a little. It bugged me, so I tried several ways of fixing it. The only thing I found to work satisfactorily was to cut the yarn and start over. A side benefit of doing it this way is I was able to reinforce the join with one of the tails.
