This cute little cardigan is knit top-down with a few short-rows to shape the neck. A small lace pattern decorates the upper fronts, and garter ridges add interest to the sleeves. The sleeves are on the shorter side to keep the tiny hands (and, therefore also, mouth) free from fabric. You will work the button bands at the end. Instructions for working a ribbed edge are also included as an optional alternative.
