Children’s Cardigans to fit from 6 months to 7 years old
V-neck and Round Neck
Knitted using double knitting wool
Pattern is written in English

A versatile cardigan pattern for ages 6 months to 7 years and knitted in double knitting (DK) wool. This design includes both a V neck and a round neck option, each worked in the beautifully textured and easy to knit Andalusian stitch. The gentle stitch pattern adds a delicate, blossom like finish, complemented by ribbed edgings for a classic, tidy look. Perfect for everyday wear or special occasions, these charming cardigans knit up beautifully in any DK shade and offer a timeless handmade style for little ones.

Design: The cardigans have a 4-row repeat pattern. The front, back and sleeves are knitted separately and sewn together. The ribbed neck and buttonhole bands are added by picking up stitches and you may prefer to use a 3.25mm circular needle to help pick up and knit the stitches for the V-Neck Cardigan.

Sizes: The pattern gives instructions for 5 different sizes: 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 4-5 years and 6-7 years old. To fit chest: 46, 51, 56, 61 and 66 cms or 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 inches.

Yarn: The pattern uses double knitting wool (an alternative for overseas knitters would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply).
