Pikkutylli (“Little Ringed Plover”) cardigan is designed for a newborn. Knitted from top down in one piece, it has no seams or buttons that would press against delicate skin. The cardigan is tied with thin crocheted cords, that will not make a big lump in a baby’s armpit. This is a fast knit, and the construction will keep your interest in it for the short while that it takes to knit this.

For summer version use Novita Puuvilla-­bambu (cotton-­bamboo mix) or similar and for winter version Drops Merino Extra Fine or similar worsted/DK weight yarn in pink (105 m/115 y), navy (60 m/65 y), and white (50 m/53 y).

You need 4 stitch markers and a crochet hook.

Finished measures: Chest 38 cm (15 in), shoulder to hem 20 cm (8 in).
