Child’s Ruffle Sweater

Designer Lynn McCarthy took a basic rib pattern and used a lot of decreases at the top of the ribbing to give it a ruffled effect. For the collar, I added a very simple crocheted flower and bead that look like a corsage or pin that Mom would wear. Your favorite little girl will love it, and it’s so easy, it will work up in no time!

This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.
