This adorable cardigan is knitted flat, starting at the back bottom up, and then continues from the front top down.

The open V-neckline ensures it slips on and off little ones with zero struggle.

To complete the look, the charming little duck and boat motifs are easily embroidered onto the finished front panels using the duplicated stitch technique for a perfect, professional finish.
