Nord Cardigan

This classic V-neck cardigan is a true wardrobe staple for children, offering endless possibilities for personalization with stripes and contrasting colors. Designed with functional pockets to hold your kid’s favorite treasures, this cardigan is not only stylish but also fun to wear. Consider choosing a larger size to ensure it will fit your child for years to come, allowing it to grow alongside them.

This versatile cardigan pattern is expertly crafted to be worked top-down in one seamless piece. Beginning at the neck, you'll gradually increase stitches along the V-neckline and raglan lines, before dividing the work into the body and sleeves. Each section is then finished separately, including easy-to-create pockets that add both charm and utility. After completing the body and sleeves, you'll pick up stitches for the button band, which is worked in the same stitch pattern as the cuffs, hem, and pocket openings for a cohesive look.

Although the provided instructions are tailored for a solid-color version, feel free to unleash your creativity! You can experiment with stripes, introduce contrasting colors for the pockets, button band, hem, and cuffs, or even opt to bind off the final rows in a striking contrast color. The opportunities for crafting a unique piece that reflects your child’s personality are virtually limitless. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this cardigan pattern makes a wonderful addition to any child's wardrobe and is sure to become a beloved favorite.
