Child Knitted Sweater: This comfortable, cosy coat, for a small child is knit
in tan with collar and cuffs of dark brown. Two shades of rose or blue may be
used in the same way, working the collar and cuffs in the darker shade.
Another suggestion is to work the collar and cuffs in Corticelli Tezola yarn
of the same shade as the coat or darker. This yarn when brushed out forms a
thick soft fur and is an effective trim.

- Corticelli Shetland Flosola Yarn, 5 balls Tan Brown No. 52, 1 ball Dark
Brown No. 59.
- One pair No.4 Knitting needles.
Some good color combinations are Rose No. 22 with trim of Beauty Rose No. 24;
Blue No.33 with Delft Blue No.35; Rose No.22 with Nile Green No. 40.
