Purl Textured Cardigan

Welcome to your next knitting adventure with this meticulously crafted, line-by-line instruction guide for a basic round neck, raglan sleeve cardigan designed specifically for babies aged 0 to 3 months. This charming cardigan's actual measurements include an underarm to underarm width of 9 inches, a length of 9.5 inches, and sleeves measuring 6 inches from the beginning of the cuff to the underarm. This pattern is thoughtfully designed to be beginner-friendly while also appealing to seasoned knitters looking for a quick project. You will start by knitting the sleeves first, working them up to the armholes for a seamless integration. Next, the main body of the cardigan is knitted in one continuous piece until reaching the armholes. At this juncture, we will introduce the pre-knitted sleeves and complete the remainder of the cardigan in one piece, leading up to the neck. Once the body and sleeves are combined, you’ll pick up stitches to create a beautifully finished neck. Finally, you will pick up stitches to work the front borders, giving your cardigan a polished and professional look. The only sewing required is for the sleeve seams from cuff to underarm, minimizing your finishing work. This unique design is my original creation, protected by copyright.
