Joy

**Cardigan Pattern: Joy – A Delightful Layer for Your Little One** Introducing the Joy cardigan, the perfect knitting pattern for parents who appreciate stylish and practical clothing for their little ones! Hanna Lisa has designed this cardigan with functionality and cuteness in mind. It’s an ideal layering piece that can be quickly thrown on during those brisk mornings and easily removed at the playground when warmer weather sets in. One of the most appealing aspects of the Joy cardigan is how it allows the cute onesies or T-shirts underneath to shine through. There's nothing more disheartening than covering up a favorite patterned onesie with a bulky pullover, but with Joy, you can avoid that dilemma and keep your little one both cozy and stylish. The cardigan features a beautiful scaled-down cable pattern that runs elegantly down the sleeves, adding texture and visual interest. The thoughtful design includes faux seams at the side of the body and the insides of the sleeves, helping to break up the stockinette fabric for an even more dynamic look. One of the most exciting techniques incorporated into this pattern is the continuous buttonband, which seamlessly integrates the neckline and hem. This innovative method gives you the creative freedom to space out the buttons according to your personal style, making it truly unique. **Yarn Used for the Joy Cardigan** To bring the Joy cardigan to life, we recommend using De Rerum Natura Ulysse (100% Merino; 185 meters / 202 yards per 50 g). This luxurious yarn not only feels soft against your child's skin but also provides warmth without being overly heavy. **Yarn Requirements:** The Joy cardigan pattern calls for the following amounts of yarn based on sizes: - 190 (220, 245, 280, 300) [325, 370, 405, 450, 490] meters / 205 (240, 270, 305, 330) [350, 405, 440, 490, 535] yards, depending on the size. The sample shown in the pattern is beautifully knit in the colorway Poivre et Sel. Aurin, our model, proudly wears a size 5 with 5 cm (2”) of positive ease, which adds to the relaxed and comfortable fit of this delightful cardigan. Why wait?
