My child sized Merriment Cardigan sizes up to a child’s small. This pattern picks up where it leaves off, so the first few sizes are intended for children. Written from the top down, you can easily knit to desired length in arms and body. Cardigan is knit in the round, steeked open, and finished with ribbing on button bands.
