Knit from the top down, in one piece including the sleeves.

Designed for 8-year-old niece, who picked out the colors from an assortment of Cotton-Ease that I had, and together we came up with the stripe pattern (instead of the flower embroidery).

A very easy pattern to adapt to other designs. Sleeves and bottom hem have a nice slanted edge: a detail which keeps this from being just another plain ‘ol cardigan.
