Arm Candy. A figure-conscious, elbow-sleeve V neck with seed stitch and button trim details. The elbow-length sleeves, princess seam waist shaping, and deep V are flattering on a variety of body types. This pattern works well for the bustier among us, and it is a cinch to add more (or less) shaping. It works dressed up for work or down for play and looks gorgeous in fancy, hand-painted yarns.

Bust sizes measure 32 (36, 38, 40, 42, 46, 50)”. Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch. Shown in Sundara Aran Silky Merino, color “Wild Blueberries”, 5 (5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) hanks.

Morgan’s Flower Garden. An A-line, zippered cardigan for little girls, adorned with a tulip motif and sized with plenty of ease to accommodate youngsters’ rapid growth. Finished with tulips on the right front and left sleeve cuff. Seed stitch collar and zipper cover look neat and trim, as do the folded hems on sleeve cuffs and at the sweater’s bottom. Pattern includes individualized intarsia charts and detailed instructions.

Sized to fit 1 (2, 4, 6) year-old girls, with bust measuring 22 (25, 27, 29)”. Gauge: 20 stitches and 26 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch. You will need one set of needles in a size to get gauge, and another two sizes below the main size.
