Knitting Pattern: Rainbow Animals Peplum Five Years
This is a PDF instant file.
This is a pattern for a handknit sweater for a five year old child.
This is a variation of the Three Year sweater. Scotty dogs and bones in periwinkle line up on the rainbow front and rainbow back. Cats and cat faces are on the mirrored sleeves. The cats are adapted from The Tap-Dancing Lizard. The neck and peplum picot trim is alternating stripes of dark blue and rainbow. The wrists ribbing trim is alternating stripes of dark blue and rainbow.
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!
