Description
The Little Cables cardigan by Florence Merlin is a charming, versatile baby sweater designed for everyday comfort. It can be worn as a traditional cardigan with buttons in front or as a sweet pullover with the fastening at the back—perfect for easy dressing. Worked top-down on straight needles, the pattern begins with a tidy neck and yoke worked back and forth before dividing for body and sleeves. The body continues flat, and the sleeves are also worked flat from the top down, with simple undersleeve seams for a clean finish. The result is a timeless, gentle layer with subtle texture and thoughtful details, ideal for little ones.
The Fibre Co.’s Amble yarn is an ideal choice for this baby design. Its soft, durable blend offers crisp stitch definition that highlights the delicate cables while remaining lightweight and comfortable. With just the right amount of elasticity and an inviting color palette, Amble enhances the look and feel of every stitch, making Little Cables both a pleasure to knit and a cozy, long-lasting staple for any baby’s wardrobe.
