Petit Charisse

I wanted to make my granddaughter a cardigan and thought a little girls version of Charisse would be perfect. The cardigan is a rounded yoke, top down construction worked in one piece. The yoke is decorated with a picot cast on, purl ridges with eyelets that have a knot stitch worked in the rows between them. Raglan increases are worked to shape the bodice. There is no body shaping past the armholes. It has a velvet ribbon sewed to the button band and pretty purl buttons to add the perfect feminine touch to a lovely cardigan. I used Sweet Paprika Minuet for the sample. It is a nice soft superwash merino, perfect for little ones. It comes in many wonderful colors. An alternative is suggested.
