This kit does not include the pattern. You'll also need a copy of Claudia Q's new book, Making Memories: Timeless Knits For Children.
The crocheted neck of this cardigan was inspired by the handmade garments I wore asa child. Crochet is a very popular craft in my home country of El Salvador, as the weather is generally far too hot for knitted garments. The crocheted neckpiece is a relatively simple project for beginners, but if you’re apprehensive about crocheting the sweater can be made with or without!
