Gramps (Child) by Tin Can Knits

We think it’s hilarious how babies sometimes look like old geezers, so we created this shawl-collared grandpa sweater for your grouchy little old man! Suit him or her up and no matter how grumpy, your child will be stylish.

And despite reasonable common-sense notions, babies require pockets to store their tiny little pipes, and patches to prevent them from wearing holes through the elbows of their cardigans after years of use! Make an adorable matching sweater for yourself too. This pattern can be made in Worsted or Aran Weight yarn. Also available in Adult sizes.

Kit includes pattern, selected yarn & buttons for size selected. For Ball Winding services click here. Please enter your button selection in "Notes" at checkout or in an email after completing purchase. Please know that this pattern contains sizes from infant to adult 3XL. Sizes with similar skein counts are combined for kit purposes only.
