Ardan baby and toddler sweater and hat

This little sweater features a double moss-filled cross-over chevron at the centre of the front and back, the remainder being worked in stocking stitch.  This makes a lighter sweater than a full aran, and gives you enough detail to work with if you are new to the cable needle.  Make it in a neutral colour for an every-day play sweater, or use pastel or stained-glass colours with fancier buttons for a dressed-up look.  The chevron pattern is also featured on the roomy little hat.  Ardan is pronounced “are-dawn” and means “high aspiration.”
