The AVERY CARDIGAN is so named because this design is classic and unisex, with buttonband options for boy or girl. You can further customize this baby cardigan for the recipient with your yarn choices. It is the perfect project to experiment with pairing a speckled and a semi solid yarn, requiring only one hank each of Tosh DK (although you might encounter a game of yarn chicken if you are making the largest size, so please plan accordingly).
