Pattern – See below pattern for picture guide:
Note: Sizing is a guide and because all children are different I recommend that after round 9, you measure the neck opening on the child. This model has a deep neckline and if you would like this smaller just choose a smaller size.
The model is a short version and if you wish you can add length by adding more rounds.
