Perfect for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter, this cozy little short cardigan with raglan sleeves is knit seamlessly from the top down. The body is worked flat, the sleeves are worked in the round. The sleeves length and sweater length can be altered to more accurately fit your little girl if necessary. Just work even in pattern to your desired length. Please note: back of cardigan is longer than front because of the lace part.
