children's cardigan 38 - butterfinger

 

 
 

child_sweater_butterfinger

The possibilities are endless when using DMC cotton, six strand, embroidery floss (comes in 454 colors) for the pretty crocheted flowers. Use only two colors or many colors for crocheting as many flowers as desired. Position them around neckline, cuffs and scattered on the cardigan; also on the hat (I put two). The hat pattern is written for knitting on either straight needles or circular needles. The dropped shoulder, round neck cardigan is easy to knit. The neckline has two rows of single crochet and the center fronts have three rows. There are no buttonholes; snaps are sewn under each flower to close the cardigan.

The easy to follow pattern includes:

    •    Schematic for each piece
    •    A helpful tracking sheet
    •    Diagrams and full explanations for techniques
    •    A link for substitute yarn
    •    A pattern helpline

It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
