This is a top-down raglan shaped cardigan, designed for preemie babies in two sizes. For ease and speed (since we want to help as many teeny babies as possible) the collar, hems, and button band are all knitted as you go.

This is a quick and simple design that looks good in any colour. One piece. No seams. Finished in approximately 3-4 hours.

The bottom of the cardigan features my broken checkerboard pattern, which you may have seen on a few of my other designs.
