Deep Blue Sea
Introducing our gender-neutral nautical cardigan, perfectly crafted for adventure-loving little sailors! This stylish cardigan is worked from the bottom up, featuring seamlessly integrated top-down sleeves to minimize finishing work, allowing you to spend more time knitting and less time on tedious final touches. With a charming cable anchor and chain design, complemented by a splash of contrast color at the hem and cuffs, your child will look sharp and ready for any summertime escapade.
Designed for comfort and layering, this cardigan allows for about 2 inches of positive ease, making it ideal for the warmer months. We've chosen a washable cotton blend yarn, perfect for summer wear, though any washable sport weight yarn with excellent stitch definition will produce stunning results.
