Knitting from the top down makes this sweater easy to try on your little friend as you knit (if they’re interested in that sort of thing). There are some simple garter/rib panels worked along each raglan, with increases to each side. The rest of the sweater is knit in easy Stockinette stitch with a little garter and rib edging.
