Knitting pattern for a simple but attractive cardigan that can be knitted with a v-neck or round neck. It is knitted in 4 sizes, using the same pattern, but changing yarns. The tiniest size is in the finest yarn and the largest in the thickest, so the smaller the baby the finer the cardigan, which works perfectly. It can have little added pockets or flowers to make it a little bit more special.
