Florence Cardigan

If you're in search of a simple, modern, and timeless design for little ones, look no further! This vintage yellow yarn instantly inspired a beautiful round-necked cardigan crafted in my favorite garter stitch. Its cheerful hue makes it a perfect choice for spring and summer, while also adding a touch of brightness to those cozy autumn and winter days. With playful mismatched buttons, this cardigan takes on a fun twist, but if you prefer a more classic look, matching buttons can also elevate its charm.

This knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for both a girl's and a boy's version, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this delightful design. I originally used a sport weight yarn for the sunny yellow cardigan, but you can also achieve stunning results with a fine DK yarn. This flexibility is particularly highlighted in the boy's teal cardigan, which is equally charming.

The yarn quantities provided are calculated based on a fine DK weight, so be mindful that you may require slightly less of the sport weight yarn. As always in knitting, it's better to have a little extra yarn than to fall short! Each cardigan is not just a garment; it’s a cozy hug for little ones, ideal for gifting or keeping your own cherished child warm.

Enhance your knitting collection with this versatile pattern, perfect for any season. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this design is sure to bring joy to your knitting experience. Start your project today and create a beloved wardrobe staple that can be worn throughout the year!
