Create two timeless wardrobe staples with our knitting pattern for children’s cardigans designed in double knitting (DK) yarn and sized from 6 months to 7 years. The pattern includes two classic styles, a V‑neck cardigan and a round‑neck cardigan, each featuring the same repeat textured pattern and ribbed edgings.
Both designs are worked flat and seamed, making them ideal for knitters who enjoy structured, traditional garment construction. The texture adds visual interest without being overly complex, and the DK weight ensures a soft, comfortable layer suitable for year‑round wear.
Design: The cardigans have a 4-row repeat pattern. The front, back and sleeves are knitted separately and sewn together. The ribbed neck and buttonhole bands are added by picking up stitches and you may prefer to use a 3.25mm circular needle to help pick up and knit the stitches for the V-Neck Cardigan.
Sizes: The pattern gives instructions for 5 different sizes: 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 4-5 years and 6-7 years old. To fit chest: 46, 51, 56, 61 and 66 cms or 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 inches.
Yarn: The pattern uses double knitting wool (an alternative for overseas knitters would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply).
The picture shows the cardigans knitted for size 1-2 years using Sirdar Snuggly DK in shade Angel (0511).
Skill: Intermediate. Experience of keeping the pattern correct while decreasing or increasing the stitch count is required.
Tension: 22 sts and 30 rows to 4 inches/10 cm (stocking stitch) on 4 mm needles or size needed to achieve stated tension.
Needles: Sizes 3.25 mm and 4.0 mm (USA 3 and 6) straight needles are required.
(optional) 3.25mm circular needle to help pick up and knit the stitches for the V-Neck Cardigan.
Other requirements:
6 (6, 6, 6, 7) buttons for Round Neck Cardigan
3 (3, 4, 5, 5) buttons for V-Neck Cardigan
Stitch markers
