Library Cardigan
$8.00
Don’t boys look so handsome when studious? The three boys modeling this sweater range from ages 5-7 and vary in size. The stretchy rib on this design makes it particularly grow-able and the cuffs can be folded up to fit shorter arms. It is just as charming worn oversized as it is fitted. This sweater features a couple grow-with-me tips and originally appeared in Kate's book, Knits for Boys! Finish the look with classic elbow patches (printable template available). Shown in Size 8.
