When I was pregnant with my only daughter, my best friend gave me a little baby cardigan. It was fluffy, and cozy, and oh so soft. After my baby was born, I used it all the time. This little cardigan is reminiscent of that tiny sweater. Just as useful, just as soft, but easily handmade, to add that special touch. Make it for your baby, or your best friend’s, and it will be used over and over – and loved.
White Cloud is worked bottom up, all in one. Kitchener stitch seams up the underarms, and a large bobble makes the button. It is all knit, and not a bit of purl.
