Bindi Cardigan BJ30
Bindi is an adorable baby cardigan featuring stylish raglan sleeves and charming two-coloured tuck stitch borders, making it a delightful addition to any little one's wardrobe. This versatile pattern includes two variations: one with long sleeves for those cooler days and another with short sleeves perfect for warmer weather. Both sleeve lengths are adorned with beautiful tuck stitch patterned edges, adding a touch of elegance to this cozy cardigan.
Designed as a seamless knit, Bindi is worked from the bottom up using sport or light DK weight yarn, making it an ideal project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. For a light summer-weight option, this cardigan is particularly suitable when crafted from cotton yarn, ensuring comfort and breathability for your baby. All components of the cardigan are knitted flat, simplifying the process for a delightful crafting experience.

It offers detailed instructions for five sizes—newborn to 3 months, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 12 to 18 months, and 18 months to 2 years—ensuring a perfect fit for every little one in your life. Additionally, a detailed schematic diagram is provided to assist in your knitting journey, offering extra clarity and guidance.
