West Side Yard Shorty
child/teen knitting pattern

This soft pullover in six children’s sizes (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14) offers plenty of options to customize. With a simple knit/purl patterned body, modified drop shoulder, and stockinette sleeves, the subtle texture shines in a smooth, sport weight yarn. Knit in pieces from hem to shoulder with seams, the fit is easy and less structured. Three neckline options are included to make it one’s own.
