This classic cardigan combines an appealing geometric pattern with super soft yarn. Paired with the Cute as a Button Baby Hat, it’s a special gift for the littlest ones in your life.

The cardigan is worked bottom-up, flat, splitting for front and back at the underarm, and joining at the shoulder. Arms are picked up at armhole and knit in the round.
