need help finding a sweater pattern

[MamaWolfe]

I'm looking for a sweater pattern for a small child/large baby boy, in the round, and free. I couldn't find anything on Ravelry, except girl patterns and cables. I have some great yarn that I want to use but it has a ton of colors in it and so the pattern itself needs to be very simple. I would normally just sort of make it up as I go along, that's what I generally do, but I don't know how to do the yoke/sleeves/neck in the round. If you know of a great book, I would be willing to buy a book as long as it had a few other good things.
Thanks!

How about the Child Placket Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts? I've been wanting to knit this for my son.

In terms of books, Barbara G. Walker's Knitting from the Top doesn't have patterns, but is an excellent manual for designing your own. I think you could absolutely use it to do what you want with this project.

If it's a handpainted yarn, though, I'd be prepared to be flexible on knitting in the round and consider knitting flat and seaming, though- it might be worth playing with the patterns created by the colour in the yarn.

I think I'll try the childs placket sweater! Thanks!!! I'll post pics if I ever finish it ;-)

This is a good one. I enjoyed making it and it turned out really nicely.
