Did you look at 33 toddler patterns? There are plenty boys' patterns. There are 3 hoodies that are for boys. Just use a girls' pattern and reverse the buttons and buttonholes. Of course, no pink or lacy stitches.

Oops! The boys' patterns are in "16 Summer knits" I think on the side-bar.

Was looking for 3 year old boys sweater pattern. It is easy to find girls patterns, why not boys?

I was under the impression I would find pattern suitable for children to knit themselves during the summer! Does anyone have any links suitable for a child who is a beginner! I want simple projects that can be made quickly so that the child feels she is making good progress!

I was under the impression that the term children includes both boys and girls, yet there are only patterns for girls.
