This is a really sweet swing-type cardigan with easy raglan shaping. To get different sizes in this pattern, you use fingering weight and size US 3 needles for 0 - 9 months; use dk weight and size US 6 needles for 12 months to 2 years; and use worsted weight and size US 8 needles for size 3 - 4 years. You don’t need to circle different size stitch numbers or counts for different sizes, as they are all worked the exact same way!

This is an easy knit with a lovely scalloped edge on the bottom and sleeves. There are two buttons at the top. The neck opening is squarish with a generous ribbed border.
