Crafted primarily in garter stitch and stocking stitch, this knitting pattern is beginner-friendly and introduces the technique of intarsia knitting, also known as picture knitting.

To create this adorable set, you will need 2 to 4 (depending on the size) 50-gram balls of main color double knitting yarn (DK/8 ply, 11 wpi). Additionally, a small amount of contrast DK yarn is required for the vibrant car designs. This ensures that your finished product is both soft and durable for little ones.

For the cardigan, you'll need 3 small buttons to secure the front, along with 4 round buttons for the wheels and 2 additional buttons for the headlights on the cars. These finishing touches elevate the overall design, making it a standout piece in any toddler's wardrobe.

The pattern includes a large, easy-to-follow colored chart for the car motifs and a comprehensive color guide tailored for various sizes.
