This Mini Fancy Sweater is the same design as Fancy Sweater  only that the pattern is for sizes from 2 to 10 years.

I liked so much the Fancy Sweater that I wanted one for my daughter too. It was so easy to make on women sizes and you can imagine that for children is even easier.

My intention was to add a girly element, the collar but it looks like more boyish. This is even better, meaning that you can make this Mini Fancy Sweater for a boy too.

After this stage the Fancy Sweater on women sizes was ready, but for the Mini Fancy Sweater I added a collar.

The collar is easy to make, only in sc.

Put the sweater on the right side and mark the 2 st from the middle of the neck line.
