After I designed the summer dress I published yesterday, I decided to design something extra to to go with it. The result is this cute little cardigan. I think it gives the dress an entirely new look.

This cardigan also works with any of the other CC child dress patterns I’ve designed. It uses a small amount of thread and only takes about 30 minutes to make.

You will need:

• a size 10/1.30 mm crochet hook
• #10 cotton crochet thread
• a needle, to weave in ends
• scissors

Glossary of terms used in this pattern:

ch = chain      sl-st = slip-stitch      sc = single crochet      dc = double crochet      st(s) – stitch(es)
