The Caladium Cardigan is a top-down, modified drop-shoulder cardigan for toddlers and children. The plaid pattern is created by knitting blocks of colour in alternating plain and marled coloured yarn. Shoulders are shaped with short rows for a better fit. The cardigan is finished with a sturdy double-knit button band. It provides a cozy, loose fit that won’t get in the way of playing!
