Little V-Neck Cardigan

Pattern Details
The Little V Neck Cardigan is a worsted weight sweater that is easy to knit, and looks great on all the kids. This is a great pattern for beginners, as well as for knitters wanting a quick and easy baby gift. Instructions are clearly written, and there is minimal shaping required.

Construction Details
Sweater back and fronts are knit separately, and seamed at the shoulders.
Sleeve stitches are picked up along the the armhole edge, and knit down to the cuff.
Stitches are picked up along the fronts and back neck, and the neckband is worked in garter stitch. Buttonhole instructions are included on both right front and left front, so you can choose where to place them. If you prefer, you can choose to omit them, and wear the sweater open.
(Tradition suggests that buttonholes go on the right front for girls, and on the left front for boys.)
