Baby Button and Bow Cardigan

Exciting news – I've designed this adorable baby cardigan for my first grandchild! It's currently a work in progress (WIP), as we don’t yet know whether it’s a boy or a girl. This knitting project has posed a fun dilemma: should I go for stylish buttons or charming bows? To keep it versatile, I’ve chosen the same pattern for both designs, and the final decision on whether to fasten with a button or a bow will be made on the day of delivery!

This beginner-friendly baby cardigan pattern is not only quick to knit but also perfect for those new to the craft. If you can cast on, knit, increase, decrease, and cast off, you’ll find this project approachable and rewarding. The cardigan is knit in Garter Stitch (which means every row is knit) on 4mm knitting needles. For the size 0-3 months, you only need 100 grams of Baby Soft D.K. Yarn, making it a cost-effective and delightful gift option for new parents.

I’ve thoughtfully crafted this pattern to fit five sizes: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, and 3-4 years. Whether you’re making it as a heartfelt present or creating a cozy wardrobe staple for your little one, this cardigan will be a cherished item. Get ready to enjoy some quality knitting time and celebrate the arrival of a new family member with this playful, customizable baby cardigan pattern!
