Strawberry Patch

Designed by Ashley Jane McIntyre

This sweet little pullover will bring you back to sunny days spent picking strawberries from the fields of a local farm. Aptly named, the Strawberry Patch sweater features a plump, juicy berry applique on the front. Contrast color sleeves keep this piece cool and casual for your little one. Worked in our soft, saturated Uptown Bamboo DK, this sweater is adaptable for warm and cool weather alike.

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is crocheted seamlessly from the top down in turning rounds. The colorwork of the sleeves and body are created with intarsia, meaning you will use a separate ball of yarn for each color. Wind off half of color B to create two separate balls for each Sleeve. Wind off half of color A to create two separate balls for the front and back of the Body.

You may wish to use removable stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch in each set of Sleeve stitches and Body stitches. It is recommended to place a removable stitch marker in the beginning chain-2 hdc of each round to denote the beginning of the round, then move it up with each new round.

Size 12-18 months uses nearly all of one skein of color A, and size 4 years uses nearly all of one skein of color B. If you have chosen these sizes, you may wish to purchase an extra skein as insurance.

Strawberry Patch is available as part of the e-book Precious Picnic and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
