Finley Cardigan
If you're a confident beginner looking to expand your knitting skills, this delightful cardigan pattern is perfect for you!
This stylish cardigan is designed to be knitted from the top down in one continuous piece, making it an ideal choice for knitters who prefer to avoid seams. For the best results, we recommend using circular needles for the body of the cardigan, along with double-pointed needles (DPNs) or the magic loop method for the sleeves. Once the sleeves are completed, they are temporarily placed onto spare yarn, allowing you to finish the body without interruption.
The body showcases a beautiful stocking stitch, crafted back and forth, with the addition of an eye-catching diamond panel as detailed below. Cuffs, collar, and button bands are all worked in classic garter stitch, adding texture and visual interest to your finished cardigan.
The intricate diamond stitch pattern is beautifully charted, making it easy to follow along as you create this stunning design.
Sizes available: This pattern comes in a range of sizes suitable for infants and toddlers, including 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, and 12-24 months, ensuring you can create the perfect fit for your little one.
Needles needed: For this project, you'll require straight or circular needles in size 4.00mm (US 6), plus DPNs or the magic loop technique in the same size for the sleeves.
Yarn requirements: You will need three 50g balls of yarn for sizes 0-3 months, three for 3-6 months, four for 6-12 months, and four for 12-24 months, allowing you to choose the right amount for your project.
Additionally, we offer separate patterns for matching pants and bonnets, or you can conveniently purchase all three patterns together in one multi-pattern package for a complete outfit. Knit this charming cardigan and create a coordinated look for that special little one in your life!
