Arnica baby cardigan

Introducing the **Arnica Baby Cardigan**, a beautifully designed round yoke baby cardigan that combines seamless construction with delightful details. This charming pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a warm and stylish garment for the little ones. Crafted to be worked from the top down, the Arnica Cardigan allows for easy adjustments and fun customization options.

Yarn: To create this adorable cardigan, you will need DK weight yarn. For the main color (MC), you'll require approximately 240 (260, 285, 310, 330, 350) yards (220 (240, 260, 280, 300, 320) m). For the contrasting color (CC), plan on using about 85 (95, 100, 105, 110, 115) yards (80 (85, 90, 85, 100, 105) m). We recommend using the beautiful Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Joao, which is 100% wool and comes in 50 g skeins with a yardage of 149 yards (136 m). The sample shown features colorway 914, utilizing 2 (2, 2, 3, 3, 3) skeins, along with colorway 921, which requires just 1 skein.

Needles: For this pattern, you'll need a US 5 (4 mm) circular needle, 24” / 60 cm long (or longer for a comfortable knitting experience). A US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle is recommended for ribbing, and don't forget a set of US 4 (3.5 mm) double point needles (DPNs) to expertly knit the sleeve cuffs.

Gauge: To ensure your cardigan fits perfectly, maintain a gauge of 21 stitches x 30 rows over a 4” (10 cm) square in stockinette stitch after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for the seamless design and overall look of the Arnica Baby Cardigan.
