5 Colour Fade Cardigan for Children
Introducing our stunning 5 colour fade cardigan knitting pattern—perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This stylish cardigan is knit from the top down in one seamless piece, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. One of the standout features of this pattern is that the button band is knit at the same time as the body, eliminating the hassle of picking up stitches after completion.
The armholes are elegantly shaped using raglan increases, allowing for a comfortable fit and easy movement. After shaping the armholes, you'll set aside stitches for the sleeves, which are knit later, keeping the focus on the beautiful body of the cardigan. Once the body is finished, it concludes with a ribbed edge for that polished look. The sleeves are then knit in the round, featuring a matching ribbed edge to tie the whole design together.
We've thoughtfully included a worksheet with detailed instructions on how to fade the colours, providing you with guidance to help you plan your gorgeous garment. Each of the 5 colour options comes with specific yardage recommendations, encouraging you to unleash your creativity with your yarn choices. Opt for a gradient effect that transitions from light to dark or dark to light, or mix and match yarns in shades that bring you joy. This pattern is also an excellent opportunity to stash bust your existing yarn collection, making it a practical and eco-friendly project!
The model pictured showcases the 4-6 year old size cardigan, featuring a chest measurement of 61 cm / 24 in., making it a delightful addition to any child's wardrobe. Whether you are knitting for your own little one or creating a heartfelt gift, this 5 colour fade cardigan will surely become a cherished favorite.
