Knits for children — ponchos, hats and sweaters in sizes from around four years.

Children grow, so the patterns are made with generous ease and simple shapes that can take a couple of extra centimetres. And they go quickly: a child's mohair sweater is done over a weekend.

The ponchos are made in light materials that are soft against bare skin, and designed to fall softly and neatly around the body. They are perfect for pick-up at nursery, over the summer dress — or over the swimsuit on the way home from the beach.

If the child wants to knit it themselves, see Learn to knit – for kids.
