Carrot cardigan is perfect for a little one who loves to play and explore among the greenery in the garden. Perhaps it will inspire a love of growing things – or even turn carrots into a new favourite vegetable!
The cardigan is worked top-down, with a lice pattern on the yoke and sleeves, and a border of carrots growing in the vegetable patch along the lower edge.
