Amazing Modular Baby Cardigan

Discover the perfect addition to your knitting collection with our BOXY, square cardigan pattern! This oversized style is designed for comfort and versatility, making it an ideal piece for any wardrobe. If you prefer a more fitted look for your child, don’t worry—there are several ways to modify the design. One approach is to select a smaller size that aligns with your child's chest measurement while adding extra length to the body for a taller and slimmer silhouette. Detailed instructions on these modifications are provided in both the Kids and Adults versions. Alternatively, you can simply pick up the hem edge and knit additional length once the body component is complete.

When creating this fantastic cardigan, it’s crucial to incorporate the icord edgings, especially around the neckline. Leaving the neck unfinished may result in a too-large fit, which is why the icord edging is included in the pattern to draw in the neck and enhance the fabric's stability. If you prefer not to add an icord neck finish, a ribbed collar is also an excellent option, providing similar functionality and a polished finish.

This cardigan is a modular piece, skillfully crafted as each component is knitted onto the last. The only joins occur at the sleeves and sides, which I strongly recommend joining with a three-needle bind off or cast off for a seamless and sturdy finish. This method not only strengthens the garment but also maintains a neat appearance, making your handmade cardigan look professionally made.

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this versatile cardigan pattern allows room for creativity and personalization. Join our community of knitters today and start crafting a stylish, custom-fit cardigan that your child will love to wear!
