BABY GARMENT

Find your size

This cardigan is worked flat in

three pieces starting from the

bottom up – the body and set-in

sleeves. At the armholes, the

fronts and back are divided and

worked separately. The button

band is picked up to finish.

Textured stripes feature around

the bottom edge and cuffs.

Although the garment is worked

flat, we recommend using circular

needles to accommodate the

number of sts.
