Simple stitch + simple construction = one classic kid’s cardigan. This design will be a child’s go-to layer for chilly days at school or play. Offered in sizes to fit a toddler up to school age, the sweater design works for a girl or boy. The back and fronts are knit flat, then joined at the shoulder. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the side selvage. A snug fit at the bottom and cuffs is assured by 1x1 ribbing which appears again in the neckband. Buttonholes are integral to the front, so no need for a button band. Knit this in an understated neutral or a bright color for your favorite little person.
