Little Nydia Cardigan

The Little Nydia Cardigan—an adorable, miniaturized version of the adult cardigan with the same name—is the perfect sweater for all the knitworthy kiddos in our lives. Its classic shape and fit ensure it will be wearable with a variety of items in any little one’s wardrobe; they need layering pieces too!

Worked seamlessly from the top down with short row neckline and compound raglan shaping, this cardigan features lateral braids that separate the ribbed edgings from the focal stitch pattern, a simple yet luxurious all-over lace texture. The tiny size together with a DK weight yarn make for a fun, quick-to-knit garment that will be a joy to see on the intended recipient. If you’re knitting for a child old enough to pick out their own clothes, pair their favorite color with some fun buttons to make it the sweater they want to wear over and over!

Circumferences are for the finished cardigan worn closed. Cardigan is intended to fit with approximately 2” (5 cm) of positive ease.
