Alfrick

This beautifully designed Aran Weight yarn cardigan is inspired by the popular Bosbury pattern in my collection, specifically created with toddlers in mind. However, we also offer smaller sizes to ensure that knitters can craft the perfect fit for their little ones. This light cardigan features an elegant shirt tail design at the back, allowing it to drape gracefully and comfortably.

The cardigan is expertly knitted from the top down in one seamless piece, which not only adds to its stylish look but also simplifies the knitting process. Choose between long or short sleeves, with only the sleeve seams requiring minimal sewing, making this pattern incredibly beginner-friendly. Plus, there’s no need to pick up stitches for the button bands, as they are integrated into the main knit for a seamless finish.

Utilizing 5 mm (US8) knitting needles, this sample showcases the luxurious textures of Rowan Purelife Boucle and Rowan Frost yarns. However, feel free to use any yarn that achieves the same gauge—this flexibility allows you to explore a variety of color and texture options for your cardigan.

This versatile pattern is designed to fit chest sizes ranging from 18 to 30 inches, with some positive ease, resulting in overall finished sizes approximately between 21 and 33 inches. The back length varies from 14 to 20 inches, making it the perfect stylish accessory for toddlers and small children alike.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this cozy cardigan pattern is a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Download the pattern today to create a charming cardigan that your little one will love to wear!
