This zip front cardigan, worked from the center back panel and front bands outward to the wrists, was created for my smallest nephew and sized accordingly (6 months!--great when you're trying out some new techniques). I used a cobalt blue worsted weight merino wool, except for a layer of cotton lining the neckband, but a nice cotton-wool blend like Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece would also work beautifully. Pattern coming soon for several child sizes.
