Button-Off Baby Sweater
This vintage-style baby cardigan is inspired by a pattern in the collection of Jack Frost knitting booklets I inherited from my grandmother. It features top-down seamless raglan construction, but with a twist. Instead of a single buttonband worked down the center, it has a removable lace panel with two rows of buttons along the edge, allowing for quick laundering of the portion of the sweater most likely to need it!
