Create our Little Dotty Cardigans designed for children from 0 to 7 years old.  Worked in 4‑ply wool, these cardigans feature a beautifully balanced dotty repeat pattern that adds gentle interest without overwhelming the delicate silhouette.  Both versions share the same classic construction: a twisted rib border, a one‑button opening at the neckline, and a clean, modern fit that layers effortlessly over dresses, tops, or rompers. The design includes two sleeve options: a short‑sleeve version for warmer days and a full sleeve version for year‑round wear.

DesignThe cardigans have a twisted rib border and 8-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.  The cardigans have a one button fastening.

SizesThe pattern gives instructions for 6 sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 4-5 years and 6-7 years old.  To fit chest: 41, 46, 51, 56, 61 and 66 cms or 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 inches.

YarnThe pattern uses 4 ply wool (an alternative for overseas knitters would be USA Sport or Australian 5 ply).

The picture shows the cardigans knitted for size 1-2 years using Sirdar Snuggly 4 ply in shade Pearly Pink (0302) and size 2-3 years in shade White (0251).

SkillIntermediate.  Experience of keeping the pattern correct while decreasing or increasing the stitch count is required.
