“FINLEY” Textured Cardigan PDF Knitting Pattern – Ages 2–7 Years

Designed by Silk Marsh Designs, this charming cardigan combines traditional knitting techniques with a timeless style, making it a lovely addition to any little one's wardrobe.

The attractive textured pattern adds depth and character to the finished garment, while the practical buttoned shoulder opening helps make dressing and undressing easier.

Whether knitted in soft pastel shades, classic neutral colours or something bright and cheerful, FINLEY is a versatile design that looks wonderful in your favourite Baby DK yarn. 🧶💕

🧵 Beautiful Textured Stitch Design

The FINLEY cardigan features an eye-catching textured pattern worked across the front, back and sleeves, creating a beautifully coordinated finish.

The textured design is achieved using combinations of knit and purl stitches, making this an enjoyable project for knitters who already have some experience with these basic techniques.

A particularly useful feature is the buttoned shoulder opening, which provides additional room when dressing and adds a lovely finishing detail to the garment.

With its classic styling and beautiful stitch definition, FINLEY is perfect for everyday wear, family outings or special occasions.
