Ballerina baby sweater
This is a top down baby sweater with raglan sleeves and no seams required. The sweater is initially knitted flat (back and forth), and later joined in the round. Part of the back is open for easy dressing. I sewed on a small button and made a chain using a crochet hook to fasten it. These can easily be replaced with satin ribbon if desired. There are frills at the bottom and delicate lace underneath.
