Perfect for the warmer months, Marigold is a sport weight cardigan with a delicate lacy body that’s ideal for topping off t-shirts and summer dresses.

It’s worked flat, almost seamlessly from the top down, with a small amount of stitching to join the sleeve seams.

Five sizes:
Finished chest: 18.5, 20, 22, 24, 26” (47, 51.5, 56.5, 61, 66 cm)
Approx age: 0-3 months, 3-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 4-5 years

Yarn
100g (250m) for the smallest size, up to 150g (375m) for size 2, up to 200g (500m) for sizes 3 and 4, up to 250g (625m) for size 5. I used MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino but other yarns that work to standard Sport-weight tension of 25 sts and 34 rows to 4” should be fine. Please check the yardage and tension carefully.
