Mini Hank Sweater – Knitting Kit (Rowan Softyak, Plain, Size 3–4 & 5-6 Years)
Designed by Martin Storey
Originally designed by Martin Storey for his Union collection, the Mini Hank Sweater takes the beloved adult design and perfectly adapts it for children aged 3–12 years. This charming scaled‑down version features the same striking diamond‑shaped cable panel across the body, paired with relaxed drop‑shoulder sleeves and a contrasting garter‑stitch panel across the chest.
Knitted in Rowan Softyak DK, a beautifully smooth blend of cotton and yak, the fabric is soft, breathable, and gentle next to young skin — ideal for everyday adventure‑ready wear. With ribbed finishes at the neck, cuffs, and hem, the Mini Hank is a classic, comfortable, and stylish sweater they’ll reach for again and again.
