The Basic Cardigan is the perfect addition to any child’s wardrobe, offering both comfort and style. Knit seamlessly from the top down on 5 mm needles, it features a neckline shaping for a perfect fit, raglan increases for easy movement, and snug ribbed edges to ensure a great fit. Designed with 5-7 cm of positive ease, this cardigan provides just the right amount of room for little ones to move freely.

Knit your Basic Cardigan in Peruvian Highland Wool by Filcolana or Wild Wool by Erika Knight for a warm, soft, and durable result.
