This cute cardigan could be for a boy or girl. Choose your colors from soft Cotton Twirl. The little bit of elastic nylon in the cotton means it will hold its shape. OK to machine wash and dry on gentle, cool.

This cute child’s cardigan is cleverly constructed with a horizontal garter-stitch yoke, a top-buttoned opening and a stockinette and garter block pattern. (Crystal Palace Yarns)
