Introducing our charming knit shrug/cardigan pattern, designed specifically for children ages 2 to 8 years. This delightful piece is knitted from the bottom up and features stylish three-quarter sleeves, which are knitted separately and skillfully joined during the yoke construction. The design of the shrug/cardigan is tailored to provide a snug fit, ensuring that once it's worn, the ribbing stretches perfectly to fit the shoulders, creating an adorable look that’s both cozy and fashionable.
