Craft: Knitting
Brighten baby’s wardrobe with this sweet knit cardigan, designed in Bernat Softee Baby Cotton. Worked from the neck down, the sweater features a cheerful rainbow-striped yoke in soft pastel shades, with a simple stocking stitch body and sleeves for a clean, classic finish. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, K2/P2 ribbing, make-one increases for shaping the yoke, sleeves worked in the round, and picked-up button bands with buttonholes. The front button closure makes it practical for everyday wear, while the colorful yoke adds a playful touch that’s perfect for layering over baby outfits.
