Baby Snuggle Cardigan

This sweater is knit from the top down with just one seam at the top of the hood. The body is worked flat; the sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches are picked up along each side edge and around the hood to work the mosaic button band. The mosaic band is created by using the mosaic technique, which means you only use one color per row and slip the other. Stitches are slipped with yarn in the back on RS rows, and on WS rows, the stitches are slipped with the yarn in front. Sizes: 6 mos. (9 mos., 12 mos.)
