This is an advanced beginner crochet pattern for the Zig a Zig ah junior kids cardigan.

Made from DK yarn, this snazzy jazzy chevron cardigan is a great fun and cosy cover up for every kids’ wardrobe.

This is a detailed pattern with plenty of photos. It involves almost no sewing at all because that is my least favourite part of any pattern! This cardi is made in one solid panel to keep assembly to the bare minimum. I promise you’ll be surprised how quickly and easily it works up. I rarely make the same thing twice but I made two cardigans back to back because it was such a simple and fun make, especially in these miniature sizes.

The pattern will be emailed to you in US terminology in sizes 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 3-4 years, 5-6 years, 7-8 years and 9-10 years.
