I think I made every size up into middle school for him. My adorable nephew needs one, so how about we make one together? This sweater is a pull-over available from child size 2 up to adult 2x. It features a pouch pocket in the front and an optional hood (which I think was Alex’s favorite part!). It is made in stockinette stitch with worsted weight yarn – I’ll be making mine out of Kraemer Perfection for Holden, it’s machine washable which will please my sister and very soft which will please Holden.
