Beautifully textured cardigans knit up quickly for little ones. Anora combines lovely heart-shaped rope cables and a delicate picot folded hem in this classically shaped sweater.

Sweater body is knit seamlessly in rounds from lower hem to armholes where front and back are then worked separately to shoulders. Shoulders are joined with 3-Needle Bind Off before sleeves are picked up and worked in rounds down to cuffs.
