We humbly submit that this cardigan is worthy of every lovely baby. The two pieces are each cast on at the cuff, then knit all the way to the center of the back. A beautiful bind off up the back marries the simple lace patterns, and voilà: it’s a cardigan!

The chubby worsted weight yarn means that you can easily knit one up as a baby shower gift in a few days. Only you will know how easy—and fun—it was to make.
