This is a lovely sweater for a baby girl with a lemon ribbon on the chest. Initially, the sweater is knitted flat (back and forth) and later it is joined in the round. The sweater is worked top down with raglan sleeves and no seam required. Part of the back is open for easy dressing. I sewed on a flat button and made a chain using a crochet hook to fasten it. These can easily be replaced with satin ribbon if desired. The bottom has cute ruffles that make it super girly.
