Youth Judah Zipped Cardigan

"Youth Judah Zipped Cardigan was inspired 100% by my 6th child. He had a very specific sweater design in his mind that he wanted. He had a list of things that needed to be checked of from stitch pattern, to fit, to color. Oh, and it HAD to be zipped. It was a challenge to tick all the boxes but I made his sweater dream come true and now you get the pattern! Judah is a bottom-up drop sleeve zipped cardigan knit flat and seamed in a super soft yarn."
