This is a child-size version of Bakhita. Comfortable and cozy—this cardigan has drop-shoulders, a shawl collar, and hi-lo side vent openings. Easy stitch details make this fun to knit, and flattering silhouette and classic style make this fun to wear.

Worked flat in seeded rib, which looks a bit like brioche, but I think a little easier. The stitch is stretchy, which ought to accommodate a bit of growth.

The yarn is fingering-weight, but with this stitch it gives a bulky sweater look without the bulk, making it a bit more versatile.
