Little Kendrick
Discover the charm of the Little Kendrick cardigan, a timeless staple for knitters of all levels and perfect for every season! This classic cardigan is designed to be effortlessly stylish and versatile, making it the ideal choice for little ones throughout the year.
Little Kendrick is expertly knit from the top down, featuring long sleeves that are knit in the round for a seamless finish. This not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also makes the knitting process enjoyable and straightforward. The cardigan is complemented by unique handmade buttons from Katrinkles, adding a touch of personalization and craftsmanship to your finished piece.
For this delightful project, we recommend using Play at Life Fiber Arts Boundless DK yarn, known for its softness and durability. When it comes to needles, a size 4 US (3.50 mm) is suggested, or you can choose another size that helps you achieve the perfect gauge.
Speaking of gauge, you'll need to achieve a gauge of 22 stitches x 34 rows for every 4 inches, ensuring that your cardigan fits beautifully. In terms of yardage, be prepared to use between 300 and 1900 yards total, depending on the size you choose to knit.
The Little Kendrick cardigan comes in a wide range of sizes to cater to newborns and children up to 14 years, including Newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5/6 years, 7/8 years, 9/10 years, 11/12 years, and 13/14 years. To ensure the best fit, chest measurements range from 16 inches to 29 ½ inches, accommodating growing little ones comfortably.
As an essential addition to your knitting supplies, don’t forget to gather several ½” size buttons for fastening. The Little Kendrick cardigan not only provides warmth and style but also offers a wonderful opportunity to enhance your knitting skills while creating a treasured garment for a special child in your life.
