Key Cardigan Junior
This colourful and modern raglan cardigan is knitted from the top down in a two-colour stripe pattern, making it a fun and engaging project for knitters who enjoy stranded colourwork. The neckline is shaped using German short rows, while the body is worked flat and sleeves are knit in the round. The Key Cardigan Junior includes ribbed plackets with neat buttonholes and a comfortable fit designed with approximately 25 cm of positive ease. Perfect for children aged 1 to 12, it's a versatile, playful knit that combines structure with softness.
