Baby Fiddlehead Pullover by Courtney Kelley

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

This adorable pattern is adapted from a vintage pattern which was available from multiple yarn companies - Bear Brand, Fleisher, Bucilla, and Columbia to name a few! - in the 1930s-1950s. While the basic idea is the same, the pattern has been updated to account for modern knitters and sizing.
