Pattern includes directions for cardigan and ruffled cap. 1 skein of yarn needed for cap, 3 skeins for cardigan. Two 3/4” (2 cm) buttons needed for cardigan, one additional button for cap. The author also suggests snaps can be used and “dummy” buttons sewn over the top.

Description from book:
This sweater requires minimal finishing because the body and borders are knit in one piece. The sleeve stitches are added at the beginning of the yoke. Finishing requires only grafting the 10 underarm stitches and sewing up the sleeve seams. Because of the number of stitches required to fit the whole sweater on one needle, I used a circular needle, but I knit back and forth on it, rather than circularly.
