About the Knitting Pattern
The Lilac Blossom Cardigans are designed for children aged 6 months to 7 years and knitted in soft double knitting (DK) wool. The pattern includes both a V neck and a round neck option, each worked in the textured and easy to knit Andalusian stitch. This 4 row repeat creates a delicate finish, complemented by neat ribbed edgings for a classic, tidy look. These cardigans are perfect for everyday wear or special occasions and knit up beautifully in any DK shade. The pattern is written in English and supplied as a digital download PDF.

Design Details
The front, back and sleeves are knitted separately and then sewn together. The ribbed neck and buttonhole bands are added by picking up stitches, and you may prefer to use a 3.25 mm circular needle when working the V neck version. The Andalusian stitch repeat is simple to follow and gives a soft, textured finish throughout.
