Sizing: Three sizes are offered to fit ages 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 1-2 years. No schematics or measurements are offered. Extrapolating from gauge and stitch count, finished chest measurements will range from approximately 19 inches (48cm) to 26 inches (66 cm.)

Yarns: Jaeger Siena is discontinued. The book also suggests Little Badger’s own 4-Ply Denim Cotton. The cardigan requires two colors, 1-2 balls of one color and 2-3 balls of the second color.

Construction: The sweater is knit flat but the body is all one piece dividing at the armholes. Difficulty is rated at 2 on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being easiest. The designer notes that the sweater is designed to be knit long to account for the shrinkage of the cotton yarn.
