Little Miss Margo is the child/tween version of my [Margo Poncho][1] pattern . It is worked flat, in two pieces (front and back), and attached at the shoulders using the three needle bind-off technique. Front and back sides are buttoned together. Both the front and back feature an easy faux cable stitch pattern and the back piece is longer than the front, creating a more modern silhouette.
