Description
A tiny guernsey for the littlest supporter — sleeveless, deep green with a gold yoke knitted right in, sized from newborn to two years.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• The full written pattern: Back and Front written separately for all four sizes with per-size stitch counts and checkpoints
• The colour change is a whole-row change at the yoke — green body rows then gold — knitted in, never sewn or glued on, with the exact row split per size (green 26/30/34/38 rows, gold 14/16/18/20)
• Armhole and neck shaping written out for both pieces, with shoulder counts asserted equal front and back (9/10/11/13 sts)
• The trim bands: armhole and neck pick-ups per size, worked in gold rib with a single green finishing row, cast off in green
• Abbreviations & how-to pages, a dimensioned schematic drawn from the pattern geometry, and a size checkpoint tracker
• Yarn totals up front per size: green 1 ball every size; gold 1/1/1/2 x 50g balls — grams, metres and yards in the table
⚠️ SAFETY & CARE
• The guide's baby-safety page: sleeveless by design with no buttons, cords or ties anywhere — nothing for little fingers to pull loose
• DK yarn, gauge 20 sts x 28 rows = 10 cm on 4.5 mm needles (bands 4 mm)
• Care page included: gentle wash, dry flat in the guernsey's shape
