Description

This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.

When my boys were small they were determined about things like snacks, storytime and the idea that they absolutely, definitely, 100% did not need to wear a coat no matter what I said about the weather. If the little ones in your life are just as determined about coat-wearing, perhaps you can be the clever one and talk them into a sweater, instead. If you look closely at the stitch details on this pattern, you can almost imagine the faces of clever little foxes.
