Avery Cardigan

Discover the art of knitting with our beautiful top-down cardigan pattern, perfect for babies aged 0-24 months. This cardigan is expertly crafted in one continuous piece, allowing for seamless construction. While you complete the body of the cardigan, you can easily slip the sleeve stitches onto scrap yarn, ensuring a smooth transition to completing the sleeves, which are worked in the round using either double-pointed needles (DPNs) or the magic loop technique.

The cardigan features a stunning cable stitch pattern, illustrated in an easy-to-follow chart, while the sleeves are knitted in classic stocking stitch for a refined look. This design offers a traditional fit, providing a close yet comfortable style, making it an ideal choice for your little one.

Available sizes include 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, and 12-24 months, accommodating a range of baby sizes. The pattern includes instructions for three buttonholes along the front; however, if you prefer, you can add more buttonholes to customize your cardigan to your liking. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern offers a delightful project for anyone looking to create a special garment for a child.

To complete this adorable cardigan, you'll need double knit yarn in 50g balls, requiring 3 balls for the smallest size, 3 balls for the next size up, 4 balls for 6-12 months, and 4 balls for 12-24 months. Additionally, be sure to gather a cable needle and stitch markers to assist you throughout your knitting journey.

For an adorable matching outfit, don't miss our designs for coordinated bloomers and a bonnet, which are available separately. Alternatively, you can purchase all three patterns as a convenient multi-pattern bundle, providing everything you need to create a charming ensemble. Dive into the world of knitting with this delightful cardigan pattern—your new favorite project awaits!
