Cute Cardi
Knit this sweet cabled cardigan for your little darling - it’s the perfect cover-up for breezy afternoons.
Looking cute is all in a day’s work for tots and toddlers, and here’s another way to help your little one receive a few more ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’! This adorable pink cardigan is simply irresistible with its chunky cables and contrasting purple flowers, worked in lazy daisy stitch. We bet it’ll be a real talking point with other parents as you watch the kids running around the playground, or tottering through the park.
On chilly afternoons outside, our jacket is just the thing to keep her cosy, especially around her head and ears, thanks to a snuggle hood knitted in soft, warm yarn. Rowan Belle is a great choice of yarn - the cotton-wool blend is ideal for delicate skin, but remember to handwash the garment to keep it at its best. For a fun finish, we’ve used buttons in different shapes, from circles and triangles to stars and hearts, but you can use any kind of buttons you like!
