Not your basic kid sweater, Open
Stars Kid from VERSACIKNITS is a child’s knitting pattern that combines a
lace-like body with a shawl collar for a refined and dapper look. One of the more
difficult pattern stitches in the Textured Kid collection, open star stitch
produces a rugged, yet lacy look similar to crochet with lots of stretch. The
cardigan is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed together. The Open
Star stitch is charted and written out.
