Notes

Update: C has gotten two full years of wear out of this sweater and is beginning the third! It’s a top now and not a jacket, but it still works. This is why it’s always good to make children’s sweaters with extra long arms. And hurrah for Wollmeise durability!

This is the cutest little girl cardigan ever! I love the full “skirt” and the daisy chain detail. The pattern is clear and easy to follow. Highly recommended! (My only quibble with the pattern is that it’s 20 pages long, with a huge curly font spread out across the two columns of the page so it’s tough to read. By changing to a standard font and choosing only the size I was knitting, I condensed it down to 5 pages, saving on paper and ink.)

Mods: I mixed elements of 2yo and 3yo sizes, made 6 small buttonholes instead of three big ones, worked an extra set of sleeve decreases, and included the amazing double cuffs from Åsa Tricosa’s Baby Ziggurat.

gauge: 21sts/29 rows per 4 inches after wash/block
