About The Design:
This is the follow-up pattern for the ‘Nordic Baby Cardigan’ pattern published in 2019, and includes 6 sizes for children from size 2 through 12, in traditional and non-traditional colorways, with a few alternate colorway charts included.

Sampled in 3 non-traditional colors in Lamb’s Pride Worsted, and 3 traditional colors in Drops Nepal, but, of course, it can be knit in your favorite smooth heavy worsted weight wool.

Knit bottom up in one piece to the armholes. Once the v-neck fronts and the back are knit and joined, sleeve stitches are knit up and worked down to the cuffs. The button band is then knit up around the front edge.

26 charts make this pattern very easy to follow!
The pattern is 17 pages in length.

Sampled in sizes 6 and 10.
