Foldover Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Foldover Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Watching your needles turn into something a baby will actually wear is one of the best feelings in knitting. This foldover cardigan gives you a soft, textured little jacket with a sweet folded collar and wooden buttons, sized from newborn all the way to age 3.

The top down construction and clear row by row counts mean you always know where you are, even with buttonholes and increases happening along the way.

Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Finished Size: Chest 23 to 33 cm, sizes 0 to 3 months through 3 years

• Top down construction with the sleeves set aside as you go, so you can try the size against a real baby or a sibling's old sweater before finishing
• Garter stitch base with a simple textured panel, so it looks detailed without fiddly stitch charts
• Button band and buttonholes built right into the edge as you knit, no picking up stitches or extra finishing later

         "Made this for my niece and it came out looking so much neater than I expected, the buttonhole spacing actually lined up."
