“PIPPA” Baby & Child Waves Stitch Cardigan Knitting Pattern

This charming cardigan has been designed with warmer days in mind, using King Cole Simply Denim DK yarn, a lovely blend of acrylic and cotton that makes it a wonderful choice for spring and summer knitting projects.

The inspiration behind Pippa comes from a love of searching for seashells along the beach. The pretty Waves Stitch resembles the delicate shape of cockle shells, bringing a little seaside charm to this delightful design.

Combined with the attractive texture of Andalusian Stitch, the result is a beautifully patterned cardigan that is both stylish and practical for babies and young children.
Pippa is available in sizes to fit a 16–22" chest, suitable for approximately birth to 3 years, making it a lovely design to knit for little ones of different ages.

Whether you're knitting for your own child, a grandchild or creating a thoughtful handmade gift, Pippa is a delightful baby and child knitting pattern for creating a beautiful cardigan with a special seaside-inspired design.
