Burnside Cardigan (kids) – Crochet Pattern
The Burnside Cardigan is stitched from the top down and all the trim is added last with no seaming. You can add buttons, a zipper or both like I did. I really like the look of the buttons but I wanted the front of the sweater to stay closed. If you are going to add just buttons I suggest using at least 6 (I only have 5) to keep it closed better.

My Favorite Pullover for Kids – Crochet Pattern
This sporty worsted weight cowl neck children’s pullover is perfect for the intermediate level crocheter. The sweater is worked top down and in the round making it possible to try it on as you go for the perfect fit. In the pattern you will find that each size is represented in the schematic.

Adventures in Yarn Dyeing: An Introduction | KT and the Squid
This post contains affiliate links. I’ve always been fascinated with hand dyed yarns. I just love the idea of taking a bare, plain yarn and turning it into a piece of art. I’ve always wanted to try dying my own but thought it was something I’d never get to. Then somehow I stumbled onto some videos by ChemKnits on YouTube (check her out for fun tutorials!) and realized I had everything I needed to give it a go with food coloring.
