The Sweet Ruffle Cardigan is knit from the top down, starting with the neck, raglan increase, body, and finally sleeves. The body of the sweater uses a simple stockinette stitch with a ruffle along the bottom edge for the perfect amount of embellishment. You can add personality to the sweater by finishing it with cute buttons. I chose to use Bernat Softee Cotton yarn, but if you live in a colder climate you could also substitute for a soft wool yarn of similar weight for an even warmer sweater.

The pattern is available for free for size 6-12m on my blog www.knitpaintsew.com. If you are looking for additional sizes, you can purchase an ad-free PDF of the pattern on my Etsy shop which includes instructions for 7 sizes: newborn, 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, 18-24m, and 2-4y.
