Easy Pullover for Babies, Toddlers + Kids. Now in Three New Sizes! | Purl Soho

Happy New Year! While we welcome 2014, we can’t help but consider what a big year 2013 was for us! Let’s review… We were thrilled to launch three gorgeous new Purl Soho yarns: Alpaca Pure, Line Weight and Worsted Twist. We developed a collection of beautifully packaged, super inspiring Purl Soho Kits. We also began to assemble the materials for our Purl Bee projects into one-click-away, no-fuss kits. We welcomed the impeccable, inspiring and ultra-creative Corinne to the Purl Bee team, and we began building a library of clear and concise instructional knitting videos for you. Not to mention the dozens of free knitting, sewing, crocheting, weaving and embroidery patterns we shared right here on the Purl Bee!

As our team pow-wows on making this upcoming year as exciting as the last, we usher in the New Year with a new and improved Purl Bee favorite: the Easy Pullover to Babies Toddlers and Kids. Originally sized for ages 12 month to 4 year olds, due to popular demand, this pattern is now for kids up to the age of 12!
