Baby Childs Leaf Stitch Cardigan and Sweater Knitting Pattern PDF DK Age 0–4 Years

Create a beautifully textured cardigan or sweater for babies and young children with this digital knitting pattern.

Both designs feature an all-over mini leaf stitch pattern, long sleeves and neat ribbed edges. The classic button-front cardigan can be finished with the buttonholes on either side, making it suitable for boys or girls. The round-neck sweater has a practical shoulder button fastening for easier dressing.

The garments are knitted flat in separate pieces using straight needles and sewn together. The textured leaf pattern makes this an enjoyable project for knitters with some experience of increasing, decreasing and following a repeating stitch pattern.
