PDF Knitting Pattern 59 - Girls Lace Sleeve Cardigan

Manually emailed instructions to knit a pretty knitting pattern for a girl’s cardigan with lace sleeves and border, with a matching bonnet, bootees and mittens. This is a quick and relatively easy knitting pattern in sizes 3lb to 3 months for babies or 15 to 22-inch reborn dolls. I have used Sirdar Snuggly DK and Sirdar Soukie DK to knit this version.
