Bee Cardigan
Knitting pattern #Bee_Cardi is a simple yet very elegant button-fastened model for children described stitch-by-stitch.
You will find 6 sizes carefully calculated and tested: 74 (9 mos), 80–86 (1–1.5 yrs), 92 (2 yrs), 98 (3 yrs), 104 (4 yrs), 110 (5 yrs), 116–122 (6–7 yrs).
The cardigan consists of several parts made in back- and forth rows and stitches of sleeves are picked to go in the round. German short rows are used to make best comfort.
Stitch level is moderate and thanks to videos incorporated into the pattern I can recommend the pattern even for attentive and patient beginners.
