Child's sweater pattern for the 2020 refugee project

Hi all,

If you didn't already, read the last post (Special project: knitting for refugee children) to have context for what I'm talking about.

While we are all homebound, let's knit some sweaters for a good cause! Roxana has shared her Easy Striped Pullover pattern. She has provided this as a good beginner sweater pattern, but you are also welcome to choose your own favorite sweater pattern. Any sweater that fits between a 4 and an 8 year old will work. For Roxana's pattern, choose one of the two smaller sizes.

You can use any worsted weight yarn you like. Roxana's pattern uses a specific stripe pattern, but you can knit it in a solid color or change up the striping as you like. Stay tuned for a post sometime in the next couple of days with some modification notes from Roxana and a photo of a solid color version of this sweater.

Happy knitting! I can't wait to see all the beautiful sweaters.

    I'm casting on a sweater right now! I'm using a Danish pattern that I'm excited about for a pullover for a 7-8 year-old. I also have a few hats from the last meeting and a sweater and hat combo I had started and just finished. Please let me know how to get them to you for donation as appropriate.

Reminder: meeting Wednesday at 4:00

Just a reminder that we will be meeting this Wednesday, August 18, 4:00 at Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake. The pattern is a modified version of the Swirl Hat, a favorite from Hat Bingo . I think it uses about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, preferable something machine washable, and a US 7 or 8 16 inch circular needle. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: Meeting at Harlow Platts Park Wednesday 4-6

Just a reminder: we will be meeting IN PERSON at Harlow Platts Park (by Viele Lake in South Boulder) from 4-6 on Wednesday. We'll have a spot to drop off finished projects and pick up the new pattern (you'll need to provide your own yarn). Remember we'll also be collecting sweaters for the refugee project. If you'd like to stay and knit, please bring a chair or blanket. We'll sit in small groups rather than in one large one. Hope to see you there!
