CHILD’S ZIPPERED CARDI

Knit Simple Fall 2009 #17
design by Jean Suzuki

A classic split sweater with deep ribbing at the collar, cuffs and border gets a fresh update with a citrusy shade of green. A simple line of crochet along the front edges makes a decorative selvage to which the zipper can be neatly attached.
