Kids Porty Cardigan

Sale price$9.00

This kid sized Porty Cardigan also comes in a pullover version.

These are little versions of the adult Porty Cardigan and Pullover.

This cardigan is worked in one piece from the top down with a circular yoke construction. Sleeves and body are separated at the underarm. Colorwork is charted for the yoke. Steek stitches are cut after knitting and an I-Cord button band is worked along the cut steek edges.
