Friendly Knitting Patterns
by Sandra Magalhães
The Caress Kids Cardigan Knitting Pattern is a lovely gender neutral model with a wide range of sizes.
This cardigan is knitted from the top down with raglan increases.
The sleeves can be knitted flat or in the round.
It has two options for the collar: a simple V-neck collar or a shawl collar knitted with short rows.
Stitch counting charts for the raglan increases are given for each size in the pattern.
Includes a link to a video tutorial on how to knit the shawl collar short rows.
FULL INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN IN THE PATTERN.
The step by step instructions have lots of photos and size colour codes to help you through your knitting project.
