Nilo Sweater Junior 2601-01 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Nilo Sweater Junior is a classic children's cable sweater worked from the top down in Sandnes Garn Double Sunday. Raglan shaping and an all-over cable pattern give it a timeless look, while the top-down construction makes it easy to adjust the length as you knit.

The sweater begins at the neckline and is worked back and forth with raglan increases while additional increases shape the neck. The work is then joined and continued in the round with raglan increases before being divided for the body and sleeves, which are completed separately. Finally, the neckband is worked.

The printed pattern also includes instructions for the Nilo Sweater Junior in Sandnes Garn Merinoull.

Please note: This is a written knitting pattern, but the cable pattern is worked from charts.
