LIHAN cardigan, knitting pattern, 0-7y

DESCRIPTION This cardigan is the sibling to the #lihansweater and to the #lihandress. It’s a cute cardigan that comes in a ton of sizes and options. It has a circular yoke top-down construction: you can decide if you like a plain stockinette stitch cardigan with nearly invisible increases or if you prefer a summery, eyelet increase or or a textured nupp increase. You can also choose from a range of options for the sleeves: short sleeves, or straight or shaped long sleeves. You can mix and match as you prefer. We love to see your knits in social media. Please use #lihancardigan and #ivnknit
