Every baby needs a simple, drop shoulder cardigan for cooler days and photo opportunities. I chose aran weight for this design because it has just the right amount of squish without being too stiff.
This quick cardigan is worked in 5 pieces.
Mix it up with colour changing yarn or use 2 yarns to create a colour block effect. It is sure to be your go to gifting sweater for many years to come.
