Easy Knit Girls Boys Raglan Cardigan Knitting Pattern PDF Plain V or Round Neck Jacket DK Age 1 - 12 years
Knit a classic everyday cardigan for a child with this versatile digital knitting pattern. Instructions are included for two timeless styles: a round-neck cardigan and a V-neck cardigan.
Both designs feature comfortable raglan sleeves, smooth stocking stitch and neat 2x2 ribbed borders. The simple styling makes these cardigans ideal for school, everyday outfits or layering throughout the year. Knit them in a traditional neutral shade, a bright colour or your child’s school colours.
The pattern includes separate buttonhole placement instructions for boys and girls. The garments are worked flat in separate pieces using DK yarn and straight knitting needles, then joined at the raglan, side and sleeve seams.
This pattern is best suited to knitters who are comfortable with knit and purl stitches, ribbing, raglan shaping, picking up stitches, buttonholes and garment assembly.
