Baby Joy Cardigan

Introducing an easy, beginner-friendly cardigan pattern, expertly knitted from the top down in one seamless piece! This stylish cardigan is perfect for kids and makes knitting a joyous and quick experience, eliminating the need for tedious sewing of separate pieces. Once the body of the cardigan is completed, the sleeves are sectioned off and knit in the round using the popular magic loop technique. If you’re new to this method, YouTube offers fantastic tutorials that can guide you through the process. For this project, you can utilize long circular needles; however, if you prefer a more traditional approach, feel free to use a pair of 4mm straight needles along with four double-pointed needles for the sleeves. This easy pattern is particularly suitable for beginners, as it incorporates simple stitches with no complicated techniques involved.

The suggested yarn for this lovely cardigan is Moda Vera 'Starlight 8ply', which comes in 50g balls, yielding 145 meters of beautiful fabric. For sizes 0-3 months and 3-6 months, you'll need just 2 balls of yarn (approximately 160-250 meters), while the 6-12 month size requires 3 balls. This adaptable pattern ensures that your little one will stay cozy and fashionable all season long!
