Chatsworth baby and toddler cardigan

The Chatsworth Cardigan is worked from the bottom up. Starting with the full width of the body and then dividing at the sleeves to work the upper front and back pieces seperately. The cardigan is finished off by knitting the neck and button bands and picking up stitches at the arm holes to work the sleeves from shoulder to wrist. The construction of the cardigan means minimal seaming is required. The pattern features photo steps to help with some of the sections of the pattern.
