Level of Difficulty - Easy
This simple top-down baby’s cardigan is the perfect pattern to feature beautiful yarn. It includes the options of using two colours – a main colour body with contrasting bands, using stripes for the body, or using just one yarn throughout. This pattern is worked in one piece with minimal sewing – just the sleeve and underarm seams to do at the end! This is the sibling pattern to Baby Amanda 4ply Cardigan, which is the seamless version of Baby Adrian, and little brother to Benny kids’ cardigan.
