Anna’s Summer Cardigan
Anna’s Summer Cardigan is a sweet, top-down raglan cardigan featuring a feminine lace motif. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases, and the body is worked flat while the sleeves are knit in the round. Button bands are added at the end from picked-up stitches along the front edges. Designed with a comfortable fit and delicate details, this cardigan is a charming layering piece for children from 3 months to 12 years.
