Lion Brand Notes:

Body is worked in one piece beginning at neck. Yoke (upper portion of Cardi) and sleeves are worked in Garter st, Cardi body is worked in St st with Garter st borders.

Front bands are worked as part of the fronts.

A circular needle is used to accommodate the number of stitches. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles for Cardi; sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles.

Ed. note: Pattern can be adapted for boys or girls (reverse buttons/buttonholes).
