Short Description: This sweater was born from a need for a no-fuss extra layer - and quickly! Brooklyn Tweed’s Quarry is a beautifully light, bulky weight yarn, which knits up fast but doesn’t result in a heavy sweater, perfect for our active children!
Bracken is a simple top-down raglan sweater with the added detail of switching between contrasting needle sizes every row to give the reverse stockinette fabric two row furrows. The boy option is a classic fit and style, whereas the girl option adds in some A-line shaping and a dropped back hem - all without compromising the major cozy factor. A staple sweater every child’s woolly wardrobe needs! - Annie
