Description

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

This sweater began with a quote from Bruce Lee, “Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” It’s been through several iterations since it first leapt onto my needles, but I’m delighted to re-imagine it once again for little ones. The waterfall panel reminds me of long road trips with our boys, with scenic waterfall stops along the way. To be honest, they were mostly potty breaks and a chance to stretch our legs, but the scenery was a welcome bonus. The center panel is a clever arrangement of increases and decreases – no cables required!
