The set-in-sleeve garment is the construction most likely to cause hesitation on the part of the knitter, perhaps because of the seams involved in putting it together. Well, hesitate no more. This mini cardigan is adorable, shows off how polished set-in-sleeve garments look, and provides you with a quick and easy way to get your mattress stitch skills up to snuff. A simple stitch pattern is emphasized by the easy-care yarn to make a garment any young gift recipient will love to wear.
