Little Sunup - a seamless kid's raglan knitting pattern
This “Little” version of the adult Sunup on 82nd sweater pattern offers the same pebbly texture in the raglan shaping and down the sides, with a simplified hem.
The Little Sunup pullover uses the same combined raglan construction with a scoop neckline as Sunup on 82nd. Children who don’t like sweater textures against their necks will appreciate the generous neckline.
This pattern includes a downloadable progress chart, which provides row-by-row stitch counts for the ‘at the same time’ shaping for the raglans and the neckline.
