Child Size Hooded Cardigans

"This is the miniature version of one of my most popular patterns, the Painted Canyon Cardigan. I don't know about you, but I think it's absolutely ADORABLE!! It's a beginner pattern that uses both fhdc and fp/bphdc and it's perfect for either a little girl or boy. This particular pattern is for the 12/18 month size, but does include links to the following sizes: 6 month, 2T/3T, 4T/5T, 6/8, 10/12. I hope you love it as much as I do!"
