Elephant Kids Cardigan

This beginner-friendly pattern guides you step-by-step through creating a cozy, top-down baby cardigan with a charming front closure using natural coconut buttons (15 mm / 0.6″). Designed to be approachable and fun, the instructions are written row by row — no guesswork, just smooth knitting from start to finish. You’ll begin with neckline shaping using short rows, continue with raglan increases, work the sleeves flat, and then finish the body. Skill level: Beginner to confident beginner (basic knitting and purling, simple increases, working flat in rows).

Yarn options: any Sport or light DK.
