Linus Cardigan and Beanie (1-6 yrs)

With its beautiful stripes and interesting geometric shapes, Linus is a colorful and distinctive children’s cardigan. Worked in garter stitch, the decorative color changes create a striking graphic design. A matching beanie completes this lovely set.

For little ones, we recommend our soft merino yarns: either Önling No 4, made from 100% fine, organic merino wool, or Önling No 2, made from 100% exceptionally soft merino wool. If you prefer a more rustic look, Önling No 20 in 100% Shetland wool is also a lovely option.

Language: The pattern is available in English, Danish and German
