PDF Knitting Pattern 86 – Sideways Knitted Cardigan

Manually emailed instructions to knit a smart, Sunday-looking cardigan which is knitted sideways.  There is very little sewing up to do for this set which is always a bonus.  It is just the sleeve seams on the cardigan, crown seam on the bonnet, and back and sole seams of the shoes that need sewing, and a few ends to darn in. It is knitted mostly in garter stitch and features a lacy collar, with matching bonnet and shoes.
