Bat-wing style cardigan in an all-over texture stitch, with waistline shaped by ribbing. Elbow-length sleeves are made continuously with front and back sections by increasing and casting on stitches. Sweater is seamed at underarm and sides, as well as having shoulder seams that extend along sleeve length. Sweater has a very high crew neckline with a collar that is worked separately and sewn on. Ribbing at sleeve hems is done by picking up stitches after completing the front and back sections and sewing the shoulder seam.

Pattern calls for 6 one-ounce skeins of Jaeger Baby Yarn. The first size is knit on #1 and #4 needles, the second size on #2 and #5.
