This seamless baby cardigan is made top down with integrated neck and button bands. When the knitting is finished just weave in the ends and sew on the button.

With a cute neckline, made with a very simple cast on that creates little loops along the edge, a bit of eyelet decoration along the raglan increases in the yoke, short slightly blouson sleeves and a length that goes a bit below the waist, making it perfect for layering over a summer dress or tank top.

The pictured cardigan was made with Bendigo Woollen Mills DK/8ply 100% bamboo in the colour Antarctica.

Skill Level Easy… even though it might include a technique you haven’t used before, the pattern contains simple, straightforward instructions and notes on where to look for more information.
