This one-piece baby and child sweater makes a perfect gift for a baby shower, your favorite active kid, or your own little ones. The eye-catching cable on the back and simple cables running up the front add interest for the knitter and attractive texture to the finished sweater.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The only finishing required is picking up and knitting neck and front bands and grafting underarm stitches.
