Tiny flared sleeves, buttons up the shoulders, a rolled-over collar, make this carefree little jumper an exceedingly fascinating affair. It is very easy to knit — just k. 2, p. 2 ribbing and stocking stitch, and no shaping for the armholes; those attractive sleeves are put on straight, magyar fashion.
