Sizes range from 3 months to 12 years (18-32”) so you’ll be able to knit up their favorite sweater again and again as they grow. This cozy layer is worked in sport to light DK weight yarn, where solids and semi-solids will show off the stitch pattern best.

Garment Construction: This drop-shoulder cardigan with v-neck is worked seamlessly in one piece from the bottom up. There is no waist shaping for an easy fit through the body. The fronts and back are worked separately above the armholes and shoulders joined with a 3-needle bind off. Baby sizes have no shoulder shaping; kid sizes have short row shoulder shaping. Sleeves are picked up along the armhole edges and knit in the round to the cuff. The folded cuff can be unrolled to accommodate those height growth spurts before the child truly needs to size up. The button band is picked up along center front edges to finish the front opening, with short rows shaping the shawl collar.

Suggested Yarn: Why Knot Fibers Superior or other sport weight yarn that knits to gauge
