Wee Aran

Introducing a charming little raglan cardigan designed specifically for babies and toddlers, featuring delightful simple cables and Irish moss stitch detailing. This versatile pattern includes optional pockets and a cozy shawl collar, making it perfect for keeping your little one stylish and warm.

Available in four sizes, this cardigan is designed to fit babies from 3 months old up to 4 years. Whether you're knitting for your own child or as a thoughtful gift, this pattern provides the flexibility you need.

The comprehensive pattern is meticulously written in full, offering both a clear chart for the intricate cables and detailed text instructions. Additionally, it includes innovative techniques such as German short row shaping and one-row buttonholes, which are perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills.

While the sample cardigans were lovingly crafted using Patons Totem, you can choose any well-spun yarn of similar weight and yardage that achieves the required gauge. For your convenience, a recommended yarn option is provided below to help you get started.

This lovely cardigan is knitted on two needles, beginning at the hem and working upwards in separate pieces to the armholes. Once you reach that point, the pattern guides you in seamlessly joining the fronts, back, and sleeves to be worked together for the raglan shaping. This construction method not only makes the pattern easy to follow but also creates a beautifully cohesive garment.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this raglan cardigan pattern is a fantastic project to add to your knitting repertoire. Create a treasured piece that will be cherished for years to come!
