This cute child’s cardigan is just the thing for cool days in spring or fall. Kids will love putting their “treasures” in the pocket.
Knit in one piece from the bottom up, it uses raglan shaping and has no seams. The ribbed button-band is knitted along with the body of the sweater, so there’s virtually no sewing required.
The raglan sleeve shaping is easy to do.
A simple chain stitch is used for embroidery on the pocket (instructions included).
