Sunday Cardigan Junior Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Sunday Cardigan Junior
The Sunday Cardigan Junior is a cozy top-down cardigan with a ribbed yoke, stockinette body, and a soft, brushed finish. The yoke is worked flat in rib with integrated front edges and shaped with increases. The body and sleeves are knit in stockinette, with the sleeves worked in the round. Ribbed hems and a unique post-knit buttonhole method (widened and reinforced stitches) give this piece a tidy, modern finish. Knit in a strand of Kos held with mohair, it's an excellent layering piece for children aged 2–14 years.
