From Interweave Knits, Fall 2000: Sized for toddlers through adults (eight sizes in all), this pretty cardigan is simple but interesting to knit, thanks to a subtle broken rib pattern throughout and a bit of bobble frill at the body bottom, sleeve, and neck edges. With a gauge of four stitches to an inch and only the most minimal of shaping, the sweater knits up in a flash - a super project if you’re in need of speedy gratification.
