Baby Snuggle Cardigan

This stylish and cozy sweater is designed for babies and toddlers, knit from the top down for an easy and seamless construction. Featuring just one seam at the top of the hood, this pattern allows for a smooth finish and a comfortable fit. The body of the sweater is worked flat while the sleeves are crafted in the round, offering a delightful combination of techniques that keep your knitting experience engaging.

To create a beautiful mosaic button band, stitches are skillfully picked up along each side edge and around the hood. Utilizing the captivating mosaic technique, this band allows you to work with only one color per row; simply slip the stitches of the alternate color for an eye-catching design. For right-side (RS) rows, you'll slip stitches with the yarn in the back, whereas on wrong-side (WS) rows, the yarn should be positioned in front. This method not only enhances the visual appeal of your sweater but also adds depth and texture to your knitting project.

This pattern is available in three sizes suitable for infants and toddlers: 6 months (9 months, 12 months). The sizes are designed to fit a chest circumference of 17 (17.5, 18) inches or 43 (44.5, 45.5) cm. When finished, the buttoned chest circumference measures a comfortable 20.5 (21.5, 23) inches or 52 (54.5, 58.5) cm, ensuring a perfect fit for your little one. Additionally, the total sleeve length from the underarm is 6 (6.5, 7.5) inches or 15 (16.5, 19) cm, making this sweater not only a fashionable choice but also incredibly functional for active toddlers.
