This design uses simple crochet stitches to create this beautiful texture. The Primrose Cardigan is designed for little girls from 1 - 8 years. This cardigan can be customized in any way that you like, you can make it short sleeved and use for those warmer days or you can make the sleeves full length and it will keep the little girl who loves to accessorize and it can be made in any color scheme.
