Description - Dimples Top Down Cardigan - P291
Skill level: Intermediate knitter
An easy top down, no seam cardigan to layer up for cooler days and breezy evenings. This design caters for 3 months up to 12 years and knits up quickly in DK 8 Ply yarn. The decorative raglan plus the simple little pattern running down the front adds just enough interest when knitting this garment. The pattern comes with two versions, one for sleeves knitted in the round, and the other for those who like to knit sleeves flat.
If you chose to knit the sleeves flat you will need to sew the sleeve seams.
The pattern has been test knitted and technical edited.
