The Etta Cardigan is a charming, vintage-inspired baby and children’s sweater designed with simplicity and comfort in mind.
With only minimal sewing required (just sleeves and buttons), this pattern is approachable and satisfying to complete.
The easy yarn-over raglan increases are simple to work and easy to track, making this a great introduction to top-down sweater construction.
Worked in worsted weight yarn, this cardigan knits up quickly — perfect for gifts or everyday wear.
