This sweet sweater has feature buttons along the front raglan edges for ease of dressing and contrasting garter textured bands.
The sweater is knitted in stocking stitch in pieces from the bottom edge, beginning with the textured band. Short row shaping at the lower edge creates a subtle curve. The neck is also shaped with short rows. The sleeves have an underlap to accommodate the buttons along the front raglan edge.
This baby sweater requires average to intermediate knitting skills.

Special thanks to:
Evangelina for modelling this sweater and Rose for sample knitting.
