I made this pattern when my girl was a tiny toddler! Somehow i ended up never finishing the pattern, all it was lacking were the photos! I found it on my old computer and i decided to finish the pattern and publish it for you! If you like this free pattern and want to see more i would truly appreciate it if you showed it by pinning this post to your favorite crochet Pinterest board!

Pattern Notes
This cardigan is worked top-down in rows.
The body is crocheted flat, with turning chains at the end of each row unless otherwise noted. Turning chains are not counted as stitches
Bobble stitches (notated as b) are used throughout the pattern to form decorative heart motifs. These are worked on the wrong side rows so the bobbles pop on the right side.
Stitch counts are noted at the end of each row. Always count your stitches to ensure accuracy.
Sleeves are worked in joined rounds and turned after each round to maintain consistent texture.
The ribbing (at the hem, cuffs, and neckline) is created using slip stitches in the back loop only.
Adjust length or sleeve size by adding or removing rows before starting ribbing.
Pattern includes instructions for creating buttonholes on one side and a matching button band on the other.
