Inspired by a menswear cardigan
with a flat yoke and textured body, Seeds and Chains Kid from VERSACIKNITS is a
child’s knitting pattern that contrasts a simple seed stitch and a fancy
openwork lace ribbing for a sophisticated yet playful look. And, the Italian Chain
pattern has just enough challenge to make knitting it interesting. The lovely cardigan
is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed together. The Italian
Chain pattern is charted and written out.
