Designed by Robyne Conway of minimal knits | DESIGNED
This minimal knits | DESIGNED seamless baby cardigan is made top down, starting with the collar and integrated button bands. We do some easy short rows to elevate the back of the neck, create a minimal garter self-stripe in line with the buttonholes and work the sleeves in the round. When the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends and sew on the buttons.
Written instructions are included for the short rows, as well as links to online tutorials!
