Knitting Pattern: Swedish Shield Four Years
Knitting Pattern: Swedish Shield Four Years
This is a PDF instant file.
This is a pattern for a hand knit sweater for a four year old child.
Another variation of the Norwegian Shield sweater. This is the Swedish version, with white snowflakes on a blue background. Inset at the front and back is a striking pattern of golden lions on a blue background. There are also mini flags in the Swedish colors. At the hem and the wrists is a traditional pattern of people in white on a red background. At the neck, wrist, and hem is a pattern of alternating stripes in red and dark blue. The back and front are similar with small adjustments. On the sleeves are more snowflakes with another variation of the Swedish flag.
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!
