The Youth Damask Cardigan is a timeless, textured knit that’s perfect for kids ages 3-14. Featuring the same elegant damask stitch pattern as the Damask Socks and Damask Hat, this drop-sleeve crew neck cardigan is a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

Knit flat and sewn together, it’s an excellent project for advanced beginners looking to explore garment knitting.
