Audrey’s First Day

$0.00

This seamless top-down cardigan is a perfect sweater for your pre-school or elementary school child, for girls and boys. I added a little punch of contrasting color by putting a thin stripe at the bottom of the body and sleeves, above the ribbing. But you can omit the stripes, add more stripes, or be as creative as you’d like!
