Petite Knit Sunday Cardigan Junior

The Sunday Cardigan Junior is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked back and forth in rib with increases and the front edges are worked simultaneously. The body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch and finished with rib edges. Sleeves are knit in the round. The buttonholes are made at the end (so you do not need to work them along the way) by widening hole in a stitch and sewing along the edges with buttonhole stitches.
