Simply The Best Cardigan for Babies + Toddlers
Knits for Babies and Toddlers are great summer projects because they’re fast and portable. This little cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom-up, and then seamed along the sides (under the arms) – you can see what the construction looks like before seaming HERE. It’s made with DK weight yarn, so you have your choice of yarns like Berroco Vintage DK, Berroco Vintage Baby, or Drops Fiesta.
