This week I finally released the pattern for Pickles.The Pickles pullover uses a top-down seanless hood construction and was inspired by my nephew Dylan. It comes in sizes from Newborn to 12 yrs old, but I think the 12 yr old size would be easily adjusted to fit any tall skinny teen. The sizes are:
Newborn(6mths, 12mths, 18mths, 2yrs, 4yrs, 6yrs, 8yrs, 10yrs, 12 yrs) to fit chest sizes 16(17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30)in or 40(42.5, 45, 47.5, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75)cm.
Final garment circumference is approximately 18.2(19.6, 21.1, 22.5, 23.6, 26.2, 28, 30.2, 32, 34.2)in or 45.5(49.1, 52.7, 56.4, 59.1, 65.5, 70, 75.5, 80, 85.5)cm.
Here's the little one who inspired the pattern. He's now 17 months old and the sample he is wearing was knitted in size 2.
Here's one modelled by the son of one of the test knitters. As you can see the hood is generous but not monk-like in its proportions. Thefit should be slim (not tight), with the hem coming down just under the hip-bone.
There is absolutely no seaming required. There are some stitches to be picked up but that is easy, especially with the photographic tutorial included with the pattern.
Interested?
