The Uku cardigan is a staple piece for your little one, offering your child a minimalistic yet stunning aesthetic. This cardigan showcases a very classic stitch pattern combined with simple construction. Babies in garter stitch garments never fail to captivate hearts with their undeniable cuteness.
The garment is worked bottom up in pieces and seamed together at the end. The pieces are worked flat. The neck edge and the button bands are picked up and worked after the garment is seamed.
This garment is designed to be an ideal layering piece for babies, as the pattern recommends using merino wool due to its renowned temperature-regulating properties.
