Callater Sweater Pattern Release

We've just released our latest pattern, Callater Sweater. It’s a sweet and simple children’s sweater with zigzag colourwork detailing. Worked from the top down using a yoked construction, this straightforward knit is totally seamless. Available in 9 sizes to fit newborns to 11 year olds.

it's been a bit quiet from Littletheorem Knits HQ lately, but I've got a very good reason for it.... I just had a baby three weeks ago! (Hence the newfound interest in baby knitting patterns....)  This is my first ever children’s garment pattern, knitted for my new baby daughter, and Glen Callater is one of my favourite places on the planet. I climbed my first ever munro (the classification for the highest Scottish mountains) from this glen and have stayed in the bothy there many times. The zigzag pattern in grey and blue is reminiscent of the peaks that surround it and the waves of the loch. I only hope the wee one grows up to love exploring the hills there as much as I do!

The pattern for Callater Sweater is available on Ravelry, Etsy and here on our website at a 50% discount until midnight (GMT) on 29th October with coupon code CALLATER50.
