Elijah

Designed by Universal Yarn Design Team

Knit using Deluxe Worsted Superwash this machine-washable yarn will welcome your little ones to do just what kids do! From exploring their surroundings to creating beautiful art, you’ll both be filled with joy while they’re wearing the Elijah cardigan! This project is also a wonderful gift for a baby shower.

PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is worked from the bottom-up in one piece. The body is worked flat, and the fronts and back are separated at the armholes and worked separately. The shoulders are joined using the three-needle method. Then, sleeve stitches are picked up and worked seamlessly in the round from the top-down. The button bands and neck edging are picked up and worked flat.
