Top-down? Check. Steeked? You got it. Something even the boys will wear? Absolutely! Here’s a combination of a classic yoke shape and stranded color-work with an undated finish. As you work from the top down you’ll progress through 3 bands of color which are nestled between 3 rounds of increases resulting in a classic round yoke. A steek paves the way for a zipper and the short sleeves make this a great layering piece for those busy boys and girls. Sizes Children’s 2-4 (6-8, 10-12) years.
