This whimsical cardigan pattern for toddler girls is hard to resist.
Delightful mix of charming textures, with the added romance of tiny rosebuds. Just the right touch of yesteryear, we so crave for these days.
Features all over smocking with an embroidered cable ( twisted stitch) panel down the front.

The pattern comes in two sizes: 1-2 years and 2-3 years. The finished garment will stretch to fit longer, due to the stitch pattern used.
The smocking is easy to do, no more difficult to work than a basic cable pattern.
Minimal shaping makes this an easy knitting pattern, you will really enjoy.
