Description

These are adorable "Brother and Sister" matching sets! The boy's patte

rns include a Pullover Sweater, a pair of shorts, and a Cardigan. The girl's patterns include a Pullover Sweater, a skirt, and a Cardigan. This is a really sweet vintage look, but is still totally great for today's little hipsters. :)

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that I will email to you. You can purchase all the girl's patterns, or all the boy's patterns, or both. Please see drop-down menu to select which you would like.
