Each garment is designed with a small amount of positive ease, ensuring a comfortable, relaxed fit for everyday wear. Sleeve lengths are adjustable, giving knitters additional flexibility to tailor the finished garment to an individual child's proportions.
Design One: The Round Neck Cardigan
The Round Neck Cardigan is a neat, everyday style featuring a classic rounded neckline and a button-up front. It is a timeless design that works equally well for school, play, or smarter occasions.
Length and Proportions
The full length of the Round Neck Cardigan ranges from 38 cm (15 in) for the smallest size up to 58 cm (22¾ in) for the largest, giving a neat, hip-length silhouette across all ages.
Buttons and Fastenings
The front band is fastened with buttons — 6 buttons for sizes 2–3, 4–5, and 6–7 years, and 7 buttons for sizes 8–9, 10–11, and 12–13 years.

Design Two: The Flat Collar Cardigan
