Celebrate a special bond with two near-identical short-sleeved cardigans. The Fair Isle flowers give these summery makes a timeless look that will allow them to be passed down for generations to come.

NOTES

The Cardi is given in both Child and Adult sizes. In the pattern, the first 4 sizes are Child sizes, enclosed in brackets, and the last 5 sizes are Adult sizes, also enclosed in brackets. Cardi is worked bottom up. Front edges are finished with a narrow band of slip stitches and button loops to the yoke for the button fastening.

There are Charts on page 96 for the colourwork. On the Charts, each square represents 1dc stitch. Read all RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right. Change colour in the last yrh of the previous st and twist yarns when changing colour so that the colour in use shows better.

A double chain has been used to start the garment and for the sleeve/yoke edge because it gives a more finished edge. This is optional and a straightforward chain is fine.
