This child’s buttoned cardigan is collarless with drop shoulders and long sleeves. It features a two-color hem. The pattern calls for buttons for closing the sweater and additional decorative buttons for accents.

Child’s Chest Sizes (in inches): 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32

Finished Chest Sizes (in inches): 26, 27.75, 30, 32.5, 34.25, 36.5, 38.75

All sizes have just one skein of each of the accent colors. The main color uses 2 to 4 skeins of Wool-Ease, depending on size.

The sweater is worked bottom-up, but the hem (body edging) is added top-down after the parts are joined.
