Frill Sleeve Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern PDF 30

PDF Frill Sleeve Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Manually emailed PDF knitting pattern to knit a decorative frill sleeve baby cardigan, suitable for reborn dolls and real babies.

This baby girl’s cardigan is a round-neck, raglan-sleeve design featuring layers of frills worked within the raglan shaping of the sleeves, creating a beautifully detailed and feminine finish. The cuffs and welts are completed with a single frill to complement the sleeve detail and give the cardigan a cohesive look.

The pattern is written in 9 sizes and can be knitted in either 4-ply or double knitting (DK) yarn, depending on the size you wish to knit. When finished, the cardigan is designed to fit 10–22 inch (25–55cm) reborn dolls or babies ranging from approximately 1lb premature through to 0–3 months.

A larger version of this cardigan is also available for children aged 1–7 years, making it ideal for sibling sets or coordinated outfits.
