Knitting Pattern: Frog and Toad Five Years
Knitting Pattern: Frog and Toad Five Years
This is a PDF instant file.
This is a pattern for a handknit sweater for a five year old Frog and Toad enthusiast.
On the front Frog and Toad are trying to launch their purple kite. On the back the golden snake is emerging from his cave while Frog and Toad run away. On the left sleeve Frog is happy about his many-buttoned jacket. On the right sleeve Toad is carrying two ice cream cones back to Frog. The hem has two patterns, one of snakes against a green and blue background and the other of red and black ladybugs against a medium blue sky. The wrists have a trim pattern of turquoise dragonflies on a periwinkle background, which is repeated at the shoulders. The neck has a trim pattern of variegated blue and dark blue stripes. Please note this sweater pattern uses sewn-on eyes and buttons that may pose a danger for children under the age of three; proceed at your own discretion.
Pattern has written directions, materials lists, and full color charts to enlarge. The pattern assumes a good knowledge of knitting, or at least an adventurous spirit and a knitting guidelines book. Obviously other color combinations are possible. Have fun!

My patterns are meant to be knit fearlessly, changing details as desired. You can omit background details to simplify the picture, or you can change colors freely to suit your intended recipient.
I do have a strange gauge for the size needles I use, so IT IS CRUCIAL that you match the gauge to your own knitting style. Have fun!
