The Skipper Kids Collection features four sweet summer sweaters for little ones. The four patterns, a cute picot edged pullover, vintage inspired lace and bobble cardigan, sweet flowery cardigan, and ruffle neck textured cardigan, are sure to please even the most discerning youngster in your life.

Worthy of Note
The Peony Cardigan is worked in pieces from the bottom up. Raglan decreases on the body and sleeves shape the yoke.

After completing the back, fronts, and sleeves, the pieces are seamed using mattress stitch. Stitches are then picked up to work the button bands and collar. A ruffle is created by picking up stitches at the neck and working increases.
