Iasg means fish in Gaelic and perfectly represents the stylized fish cables in this toddler/child cardigan featuring cables on the front, sleeves, and back. An asymmetric closure and neckline add a unique design line to this pattern. The neckline is extra wide, and uses short rows for its architectural shape. The rolled cuffs provide room for growth.
