A simple, casual baby cardigan with a textured stitch across the
lower body, worked entirely in knits and purls — clean lines,
easy wear, and nothing fussy about it. Gender neutral, and made
to be worn every day.

Worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan shaping, so
there’s nothing to sew up. The buttonholes are worked as you go,
so there’s no separate band to pick up at the end.

The stitch pattern is straightforward, which makes this a good
choice if you’re new to garment knitting. The pattern uses a
simplified short row method — no wrapping, no picking up wraps.
