Knitting Pattern: Lion Shield Five Years
Knitting Pattern: Lion Shield Five Years
This is a PDF instant file.
This is a pattern for a traditional sweater for a five year old child.
The front and the back are almost identical: a golden lion in a shield on a background of columns of red and dark blue. At the wrists and hem is a trim pattern of golden lions on red. The neck, wrists, and hem is trimmed in alternating stripes of variegated red and dark blue. A traditional style sweater for a bold child.
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!

Thank you for your purchase!
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!
