The Sailing Boat Baby Sweater Knitting Pattern

The Sailing Boat baby sweater knitting pattern is a charming intarsia picture knitting pattern for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 3 years. Worked flat from the bottom up in light DK yarn, this sweater features a bold sailing boat motif knitted from a chart, making it a satisfying and rewarding project for knitters ready to try intarsia.

Long sleeves and a clever button neckline on both shoulders make dressing easy — no squeezing over little heads. Perfect as a beach cover up or for chilly summer days by the seaside, the Sailing Boat sweater is a knitting pattern with real personality.

The pattern was designed to work beautifully in Debbie Bliss Eco Baby yarn and knits up at 25 sts and 34 rows to 10cm — a light DK tension between 4ply and standard DK.
