This is a pattern for a hand knit sweater for a two year old child who loves mermaids.

I had an old sweater design from years ago that I was inspired to update by Ruby Bonano-Schwartz, who loves mermaids.

On the front is a blonde mermaid with a turquoise body sitting on grey rocks looking toward a white lighthouse. Coral colored clouds stream across the sky. White ripples scatter across the blue sea.

On the back a black haired mermaid, also with a turquoise body, is gazing at a stone castle with three turrets. There are similar clouds and similar sea.

Both sleeves have another view of the lighthouse.

The bottom of the sweater is a gradated blue peplum with a picot hem. The sleeves and neck also have a picot hem. The sleeves end in a coral colored fish trim pattern.

The 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. Please change the mermaids as you wish!

Have fun.
