Each garment has comfortable raglan sleeves, a smooth stocking-stitch body and neat ribbed borders. The designs may be knitted in one solid colour or with contrasting ribbed trims, giving you plenty of options for creating different looks from one pattern.
The cardigans include instructions for alternative button placement for boys and girls. The round-neck sweater can also be made with an optional buttoned back-neck opening, which is particularly useful for the smaller sizes.
The garments are worked flat in separate pieces using DK yarn and straight knitting needles, then sewn together. This pattern is best suited to knitters who are comfortable with knit and purl stitches, ribbing, raglan shaping, picking up stitches and garment assembly.
