Closer and Closer Cardi

Discover the perfect knitting project for little ones with our charming buttoned V neck cardigan pattern, specially designed for babies and toddlers. Featuring stylish raglan sleeves and a cozy fit, this cardigan is knitted flat on two needles, beginning from the bottom up. The yoke is crafted in one seamless piece, which means you'll only need to do some simple sewing on the side and sleeve seams, making it beginner-friendly!

This delightful cardigan is designed to showcase a beautiful two-colour stripe pattern. The stripes start wide at the hem and gradually get "closer and closer" towards the shoulders, creating a visually appealing gradient effect. However, feel free to modify the pattern to suit your style! You can easily create this cardigan in a single colour, with options for contrasting hems and cuffs to add a pop of flair.

For the striped version of this adorable cardi, you'll need 2 x 50 gm balls of your main colour for each size. For the largest size, you may require a third ball to ensure you have enough yarn. Don’t forget, if you’re opting for a contrast colour, you'll need 1 ball for the smallest size and 2 balls for the other sizes. This makes it a versatile project for different skill levels, allowing you to experiment with colours and create a unique garment that your little one will love!

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this V neck cardigan pattern is a rewarding project that adds a touch of warmth and style to any child's wardrobe.
