North Side

The finished sweater, with tiny dino buttons and one sleeve folded over.

North Side is a baby cardigan worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan shaping.
Small buttons add a colorful front closure.
Offered in 4 different sizes, the smallest 2 can be made from 1 skein of the recommended sport weight yarn when worked to gauge.
Once you find the rhythm of the Moss stitch that is worked throughout, it will become intuitive and you’ll be finished before the moss grows under your feet.
