The little ghosts and ghouls are joining the Halloween Party! The Halloween Party Sweater is now available in a LITTLE version, and you are cordially invited to join the celebration!!! This version of the pattern has baby through child sizes, so join the trick-or-treat-fun! This sweater pattern is packed with seasonal joy!!!

The pattern includes THREE frightfully fun trick-or-treater yoke options: a GHOST, CAT, or FRANKENSTEIN yoke. Each character option comes with its own separate PDF, so you can choose your favorite little monster—or make them all!

This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. With a circular yoke and a cuff full of pumpkins, every inch of this project will feel like a party. This pattern was specifically designed so that you never have to carry more than 2 colors or yarn on any round of colorwork (that goes for all of the motifs)!

SIZES
0-6 mos (6-12 mos, 1-2 yrs, 2-4 yrs)(4-6 yrs, 6-8 yrs, 8-10 yrs)

This sweater is designed to fit with 1-4” / 2.5-10 cm of positive ease at the chest. NOTE: I recommend 1-2 inches / 2.5-5 cm of positive ease for the 3 smallest sizes, and 2-4 inches / 5-10 cm of positive ease for the 4 largest sizes.

The modeled CAT sample is shown in a size 8-10 yrs with 2” / 5 cm of positive ease at the chest.

(NOTE: The GHOST sample shown in the photos is from the adult version of this pattern. While the size is larger, the GHOST motif used in the adult yoke is the same for the baby/child versions. Also note that sizes 0-6mos & 6-12 mos do not feature pumpkins above or below the yoke motif. This is because these sizes have a shoter yoke. See the photo of the Frankenstein sweater. THIS PATTERN DOES NOT INCLUDE ADULT SIZES.)
