Bunny Cardigan

Small children absolutely adore animals, and these adorable bunnies peeking out of the cardigan pockets are simply perfect for babies and toddlers! With its fuss-free seamless construction, you’ll be able to whip this charming cardigan up in a flash, making it an excellent weekend project for knitters of all levels.

I just love contemporary baby and toddler knits that add a splash of color without overwhelming little bodies. The striped buttonbands on this cardigan really catch the eye and create a dynamic visual contrast, making it a standout piece in any child’s wardrobe. Plus, they’re an excellent opportunity for stashbusting, allowing you to use up leftover yarn in your collection.

If you prefer a more minimalist look, feel free to omit the bunnies for a simple, modern knit that still has that cute factor. Just imagine how much fun kids will have stashing their little treasures in the cozy pockets—because doesn’t every little kid need a special place to hide their collected gems? If you’re feeling extra creative, consider replacing the bunnies with seasonal motifs like reindeer, snowmen, or cheerful penguins for festive fun throughout the year.

This delightful pattern is designed to fit with 5-7 cm of positive ease, ensuring a comfortable wear as your little one grows! The sample is shown in a size for 12 months, using Sirdar Snuggly 4-ply yarn in lovely shades like Pearly Green, Soft Brown, and Peaceful. These colors not only add warmth but also infuse a trendy vibe into the garment, making it perfect for any small child.
