Adam Cardigan
Introducing the Adam Shawl Collar Cardigan, a stylish and versatile knitting pattern designed specifically for boys aged 1-12 years. This delightful cardigan allows your little guy to enjoy his favorite knitwear for years to come, accommodating his growth with its classic fit and timeless design.
The cardigan features a comfortable and sophisticated gentlemanly shawl collar, along with charming cable patterns elegantly woven into the sleeves and pockets. This makes the Adam not just a piece of clothing, but a statement of style that’s perfect for any occasion, from family gatherings to school events. And remember, it's also suitable for girls too, ensuring that this pattern can be cherished by any child!
One of the standout benefits of the Adam Shawl Collar Cardigan is its quick-knit design, crafted in a chunky yarn. This enables busy knitters to stay ahead of those never-ending growth spurts, allowing you to create multiple cardigans as your little one grows. You'll appreciate the swift process, giving you more time to spend with your loved ones.
Designed for knitters with a skill level of 2 out of 5, this pattern is accessible for many, making it a perfect project for both beginners and intermediate knitters looking to advance their skills. The size range covers 12 months to 12 years, ensuring a great fit for your child as they grow. The cardigan sizes include: 12 mo, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 years, with chest measurements ranging from 23 to 35 inches and lengths between 10.5 to 22 inches.
For this project, we recommend using Plymouth Encore Chunky yarn, which requires 3 to 6 skeins (each skein contains 143 yards/50g), or a suitable chunky-weight yarn totaling 400 to 850 yards, depending on the size you choose. You’ll need US 9 (5.5mm) circular and double-point needles to complete this charming cardigan.
Essential notions include stitch markers and 4 to 5 .75-inch buttons, depending on the size. Ensure you check your gauge, which should be 14 stitches and 19 rows per 4 inches in stockinette. Adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the perfect fit!
The Adam Shawl Collar Cardigan is not just a knitting pattern; it’s an opportunity to create a personalized piece of clothing that can be treasured for years. So grab your yarn, and let’s get knitting!
