This classic yoked cardigan for children is decorated with bands of slip stitch texture.

Sarah Hatton is often inspired by vintage styles when designing knits for children, and this cardigan has a timeless look.

The body is knitted in one piece to the armholes, then joined with the sleeves to work the yoke section.
Bands of slip stitch texture around the lower body, neckline and cuffs add extra interest to the garment.
It’s knitted in a smooth, comfortable wool-cotton yarn from Novita, which comes in seven soft shades.
