This pretty top down cardigan is worked in lightweight machine washable yarn. Twisted stitches are used to create a panel of medallions on the back and at the front edges of the sweater, with stockinette stitch at the body sides and for the short sleeves. It’s the perfect cover up for summertime fun with your little one!

This simple hat and fingerless mitts combo is quick to work up and perfect for beginners. It features an interesting broken rib transition between the two colors to set this set apart from the rest. The set uses just one skein of each color and is a great way to use up single skeins or leftovers.
