Cora Cardigan Adult & Child
Discover our delightful adult and child cardigan knitting patterns, designed for those who want to create a cozy and stylish garment. Whether you're looking to knit for yourself or your little one, our separate patterns are available for easy purchase, allowing you to choose the size and style that best fits your needs.
This elegant cardigan is crafted by working back and forth in one piece, making it easy to follow and perfect for knitters of all skill levels. To enhance your knitting experience, we recommend using circular needles, especially for this top-down construction. The cardigan comes in 6 adult sizes and 5 child sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. One standout feature of this design is the trendy balloon sleeves, which are separated at the armpit and placed on scrap yarn while you complete the body. After finishing the body, the sleeves are then knitted in the round—making the magic loop technique or the use of double-pointed needles (DPNs) an excellent choice for this project. The cuffs and bands are beautifully worked in a classic 2x2 rib pattern for an added touch of sophistication.
The cardigan is designed for a loose fit, providing comfort and style, and features a chic wide neck opening. For optimal results, the adult cardigan is knitted using Aran weight yarn, while the child cardigan requires DK yarn, allowing you to choose the texture and warmth that suit your project best.
