Description

The super comfy sweater and top Mini Chestnut, a children's sewing pattern, is the version for girls of the popular Chestnut sewing pattern for women. It comes with two different options and lots of possibilities to play around with.

In general, you can opt for the sweater with three bow options or the top with the same alternatives. Firstly, version A of either of them has a lovely circular opening at the back that closes with a big bow. Meanwhile, version B sports four bows at the back closing the bodice. And option C offers a more subtle bow alternative with a nice slit or vent at the shoulder.

In addition, the top has a slightly longer back and two slits at either side; whereas the sweater offers two sleeve lengths: 3/4 and long sleeves. To sum up, take a good look at all the options and pieces on before you decide.

To sum up, the sweater and top children's sewing pattern Mini Chestnut comes with lots of detailed instructions, technical drawings and tips to get the best results when sewing with knit fabrics. The pattern will become a staple, with a twist, in the handmade wardrobe of a lucky little girl.

Sizes range from 3 to 12 years old and the instructions' booklet comes with detailed measurements to get the best fit depending of height and age.
