This cardigan takes my mind to chilly summer nights at the cottage. It is a wardrobe staple that goes with everything: overalls, dresses, jeans — or whatever fashion your little one is currently into!

This cardigan is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. An all-over textured pattern is worked throughout to add interest.
