Baby Caspian Cardigan

This crew-neck cardigan is a firm favourite! Designed to suit baby boys and girls, it features my favourite rib stitch which I first created for the Caspian Hat and have since used in several other designs.

I added the rib detail to the front and two cute little pockets – though it’s easy to leave them out if you prefer. That said, they’re simple and once you’ve done them, you’ll feel a great sense of achievement!

I chose a contrast edging in a soft grey, but you can add any shade. Whether you keep it classic or go bold with colour, this is a timeless knit you’ll love making and gifting.
