Chuck baby and child unisex sweater - knitting pattern

Description

This practical, unisex crew-neck sweater features a sophisticated and rich chevron motif, which is a nod to the famous zig-zag feature of the “Charlie Brown sweater.” Worked from the top-down entirely seamlessly with raglan sleeves, it is a breeze to knit. The brocade chevron motif is rewarding and quickly becomes intuitive to work. The motif can be omitted and leave the knitter with a great crew neck sweater template that could be personalized.

The sleeves are worked in the round. Please note: there is no chart in this pattern. The instructions for the chevron motif are written only.
