Knitting Pattern: Horses Seven Years






Knitting Pattern: Horses Seven Years
This is a PDF instant file.
This is a pattern for handknit sweater for a horse loving seven year old child.
The front and back are almost identical. Two horses are nuzzling together in a grassy field underneath two apple trees. On the front the apples are just white flowers; on the back the apples are red and ripe. The mirrored sleeves show a horse rearing. There are two trims at the wrist and hem: one of gold horseshoes on blue and one of red roses on periwinkle. The neck, wrists, and hem trim is alternating stripes of red and shades of blue. Obviously the horses and apples can be any color you like!
Pattern has written directions, materials lists, and full color charts to enlarge. The pattern assumes a good knowledge of knitting, or at least an adventurous spirit and a knitting guidelines book. Obviously other color combinations are possible.
Have fun!

My patterns are meant to be knit fearlessly, changing details as desired. You can omit background details to simplify the picture, or you can change colors freely to suit your intended recipient.
I do have a strange gauge for the size needles I use, so IT IS CRUCIAL that you match the gauge to your own knitting style. Have fun!
