This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.
There’s just something about a grandpa sweater – especially on a child – that puts a smile on my face. With tweed yarn, grown-up buttons and sophisticated details, I imagine this cardigan on a very tiny person with a pocket watch (and they’re slightly grumpy because they woke up from their nap too early).
Originally inspired as a nod to a nautical pea coat, Pocket Watch can double as a jacket during reasonable weather.

For this pattern, we have chosen a fabulous yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners: The Croft – 100% Shetland Tweed Aran: an aran weight pure Shetland Island wool, a fibre celebrated for its fineness, warmth and strength.
The high levels of crimp and wave in the fleece make it ideal for a hand knitting yarn. The Croft has a soft and silky hand that retains a lot of durability.
