YARN

To create this charming cardigan, we recommend using Woolfolk Tynd, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino®.

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS

You will need US 1.5 (2.5 mm) needles and US 2.5 (3 mm) needles to complete this project. Additionally, don't forget your tapestry needle, stitch markers, waste yarn, and 3/8” buttons (8) to bring your cardigan to life!

GAUGE

To achieve the best results, ensure your gauge is 30 stitches and 43 rows equals 4 inches in the chart pattern when using the larger needles, blocked for accuracy. This will help you create a beautifully fitting garment for your little one.
