Brigita is a children’s cardigan with a decorative stranded part on the lower part of the body. It has optional short rows, roomy sleeves and a high neckline. A beautiful and practical summer cardigan. Brigita is knit bottom up and in the round. Your start with the body, then knit the two sleeves. After that you knit the pieces together and cut the front open.

Sizes go from 3-10 years, I’ve also written down the pattern for size 11-12, but haven’t found any test knitters for that size. Contact me if you are interested in test knitting size 11-12 years!
