I remember working on this design, using the interesting flare and drape of a dropped stitch pattern.  The top of this cardigan is knit from Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in a pale shell pink, and the bottom is a ribbon-type yarn in a variegated blend of pink, beige, and white.  The ribbon forms the button band and goes around the neck too.  The sleeves are set in, and the body of the sweater has the natural drape and flare.  This closes with five pinky-grey buttons cut in flower shapes; probably not the best choice for a child's sweater as they're a bit difficult to get through the buttonholes - but they do look great!  Measurements:  9" across shoulders; 9" across underarms; 12" length from center back to hem; about 7" sleeve length.
