Pattern description

Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern

The body is worked with a positive ease of 1-1 ½ in / 2.5-4 cm to achieve a classic fit. It features a flower pattern with bobbles and pointelle stitches, adding some extra sweetness to the baby cardigan.

The design was inspired by my newborn daughter, Sofie, who is so dear to me, and deserves a unique, one-of-a-kind cardigan to keep her warm and snuggly. The baby sweater is knitted with Dapple, a yarn by Brooklyn Tweed that combines the warmth of merino wool with the softness and drape of cotton.

Pattern difficulty

Sofie's Cardigan pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter who has experience with knitting cables, simple lacework, increasing and decreasing stitches and basic sewing skills.
According to my test knitters, the pattern is:

- appropriate for a confident knitter;
- a fun challenge for a beginner knitter;
- a good practice project for someone who wants to do a full size pieced sweater but hasn’t made one yet;
- and a fun baby knitting pattern to knit!

The pattern was professionally tech edited and tested by knitters.
