This is an easy sweater with minimal finishing: the sleeves are picked up and worked from the shoulder down, so there are only the side seams to finished; the button bands are worked in garter stitch as you knit the sweater.
The bobbles are sewn on.
The sweater is a roomy, drop-shoulder cardigan with garter stitch edging. The matching hat has a garter-edged bottom; to make a more snug fit, you can work a knit 1 purl 1 rib at the bottom.
This pattern is for sizes 6,12 or 18 months (finished chest measurement: 19/21/23") plus a matching hat. A pattern is also available for sizes 2(3) years (finished chest measurement: 25/27").
The yarn called for is worsted weight to work up at 4 sts/1" in stockinette (straight) stitch on size 7 needles.
This pattern is shown in navy blue with red, pink, peacock,lavender, medium blue and yellow bobbles, and dark blue buttons. Feel free to be creative with color and button choices!
