Easter Bunny Cardigan Knitting Pattern PDF Rabbit Fair Isle Yoke DK 3mths - 4 years

Create an adorable bunny-themed cardigan for babies and young children with this downloadable DK knitting pattern.

The cardigan features a classic round Fair Isle yoke decorated with repeating bunny faces, upright ears and coordinating geometric details. The rabbits’ facial features are embroidered after knitting, using the included colour graph as a placement guide.

Worked in stocking stitch with comfortable ribbed cuffs, hem and neckline, the cardigan has long sleeves, raglan shaping and a six-button front. Instructions are included for positioning the buttonholes on either side, making the design suitable for boys or girls.

The pattern is knitted flat using straight needles. The back, fronts and sleeves are worked separately before the stitches are joined to complete the 28-row colourwork yoke.
