Little Vaaka is a relaxed stripy cardigan that is worked flat, top-down and, of course, seamlessly. The cardigan has a round yoke and fun stripes in two different yarn weights. The back of the neck is shaped taller with short rows. The button bands are picked up and worked last. This is a kiddo version of Vaaka cardigan.
