children's cardigan 40 - bit-o-honey

 

 
 

child_sweater_bit_o_honey

The delicate embroidery along the raglan seams make this little girl's cardigan looks as if it comes straight from a children’s boutique. The sleeves, back and fronts are knit to the armholes, and then all pieces are attached to knit the yoke in one piece. Two hat patterns are included, one knit on straight needles with a seam and another in the round on a circular needle.

The easy to follow pattern includes:
     •    Schematic for each piece
     •    Helpful tracking sheets
     •    A link for substitute yarn
     •    Diagrams and full explanations for techniques including
          pattern for embroidery
     •    A pattern helpline
