Tater's Cotton Cardi
Spring and summer bring warm weather but little ones can still use a little added warmth on cool days and in the evening. This cotton raglan wears nicely over a spring dress or with her jeans and a T-shirt. An easy zig-zag repeat makes for enough interest to keep more experienced knitters from getting bored but is easy enough for less experienced knitters as well. Finishing is quick and easy because there are no seams to sew and the front ties are worked right along with the front bands.
