Bubble Yoke Kids Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Picture them buttoned into the cardigan you knitted, with rows of little bubbles across the shoulders and their favourite colour in every stitch. The textured yoke gives this roomy, everyday layer its character; the plain body lets that detail shine.Inside your patternAn 8-page English PDF with written instructions, abbreviations, a finished-measurement schematic, a photographed bubble-stitch annex and links to technique tutorials.Construction and skillsThe designer rates Little Tiyuan intermediate. You will work German short rows, increases and decreases, a knit-four-below bubble stitch, sleeves in the round, picked-up button bands and buttonholes.Fit and sizingSizes: 6 months, 12 months, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years. Finished chest: 63, 67, 71, 75, 79, 83, 89 and 97 cm respectively. These are cardigan measurements, not the child’s body measurements. Compare with a cardigan that fits them well.MaterialsThe PDF sample uses Fonty Super Tweed, an aran yarn listed in the pattern as 105 m per 50 g, 95% merino and 5% mohair. An alternative aran yarn must achieve the same gauge. Gather 4 and 4.5 mm circular needles, markers, a tapestry needle and stitch holders or waste yarn. Use five 2 cm buttons for 6 months through 4 years, or six for 6–12 years.Gauge18 stitches × 24 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette, washed and blocked, using 4.5 mm needles in the pattern. Adjust needle size to achieve gauge. The finished size depends on matching that tension.Pattern only: English PDF. Finished cardigan, yarn, needles and buttons are not included.
