The Diamond Cardigan knitting pattern

The Diamond Cardigan pattern was born after I designed the The Diamond Blanket and The Diamond Hat. I had to finish off the set with a cardigan pattern. You can purchase all 3 patterns in The Simple Diamond Collection.

This pattern is knit from the top down, and is a raglan style cardigan. It’s fun to watch the cardigan take shape as you knit with the little diamonds topping it off.

Sizes:
This pattern comes in 11 different sizes:
(Chest Circumference)
NB: 16” (40.5 cm)
3 MTHS: 18” (46 cm)
6 MTHS:19” (48 cm)
12 MTHS: 20” (51 cm)
18 MTHS: 21” (53.5 cm)
2T: 23” (58.5 cm)

6 Y: 28” (71 cm)
8 Y: 30” (76 cm)
10 Y: 32” (81 cm)
12 Y: 34” (86.5 cm)

This pattern was designed with Knit Picks Swish Worsted yarn. However, similar worsted weight yarn will work.
