Charlie Cardigan & Leggings

Discover our charming knitting patterns for a cozy cardigan and stylish leggings, perfect for little ones! The cardigan pattern is ideal for beginners, while the leggings pattern caters to those with intermediate skills, featuring short rows and round knitting techniques.

Please note: Both patterns are available for individual purchase, providing flexibility for your knitting projects! Whether you wish to create the cardigan or leggings separately, we have you covered.

The delightful cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece, using a back and forth method, before being expertly divided at the armholes for the fronts and back to be knitted separately. The design showcases flattering raglan sleeves that are knitted flat and sewn in for a polished finish. Cuffs and a collar are completed in a stylish twisted rib, while the button bands are crafted using the cozy garter stitch alongside the body of the cardigan, adding a touch of texture and charm.

For a snug fit, the leggings are knitted from the bottom up in the round, giving you seamless comfort as they join at the crotch. Short rows are skillfully utilized across the seat to create a flattering rise, ensuring your little one moves freely. A deep rib waistband is designed to be turned over and hemmed, with elastic inset to ensure a secure fit for active toddlers. The ankle cuffs and waistband also feature the trendy twisted rib technique, adding to the overall style of these playful leggings. Plus, the intricate feather cable stitch pattern is beautifully charted for ease of use.
