Building blocks inspire a cardigan for the really active child.  The solid coloured upper section contrasts beautifully with the self-patterned yarn section.   You can also substitute any handpainted or variegated yarn.  A very fun kids sweater with great directions like all of Bees Knees Knit Patterns.

See "More Information" for yarn suggestions and materials list.

• Although the pattern calls for self-patterning sock yarn, any of the Bees Knees Knits patterns would also look beautiful with multi-color handpainted yarns mixed with solid yarns.
• We have many fingering weight yarns on the site including the Lanas Puras Fingering, the Yarn Botanika yarns and many of the yarns from the Indie companies. Even if a yarn says "sock" yarn, it can be used for any project! See "Description" to calculate the number of skeins needed based on your specific yarn choice.
