A friend loved my adult cardigan and really wanted to make it for her grandkids so the little version was born.
I included sizes 1/2 to 8 in the pattern as I really think that it will look pretty on kids from toddler to big girl. It is a fairly easy make if you know how to both knit and crochet as I used only basic stitches; stocking stitch for the knit part and crochet stitches from chain to treble crochet.
I had so much fun knitting and crocheting this little version of my adult pattern. Thanks for looking in and enjoy the pattern now available here.
