The charming garter shawl collar is finished with one or more buttons to stay warm on windy days. The design also features playful yet practical details like the optional kangaroo pocket and my signature faux garter stitch elbow patches. Camaret is a timeless, comfortable layer made for everyday wear and daydreams of the seaside. **CONSTRUCTION:** This pullover is worked seamlessly, from the top down. Once the yoke is worked, stitches are picked up along the fronts and the back neck to form the shawl collar, which is worked before the main body of the pullover to avoid seaming, and is shaped with German short rows. The body of the garment features an optional kangaroo pocket that requires a small amount of seaming. The sleeves are separated from the body at underarm level, then worked in the round, featuring faux elbow patches. **SKILLS REQUIRED:** Casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, picking up stitches, working German short rows (detailed explanations/ link to tutorial provided), binding off. **SIZES:** **3mo (6mo, 12mo, 18mo // 2yo, 4yo, 6yo, 8yo, 10yo)** **To fit chest**: 16 (17, 18, 19 // 21, 23, 25, 26.5, 28) inches or 40.5 (43, 45.5, 48.5 // 53.5, 58.5, 63.5, 67.5, 71) cm **Garment chest circumference at underarms:** 18.5 (20.25, 21, 23.5 // 25.25, 26.5, 28.75, 30.25, 32.75) inches or 47 (51.5, 53.5, 59.5 // 64, 67.5, 73, 77, 83) cm The age indication is a guideline only.
