Tiny Sprinkle Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Make Something a Little One Will Always Come Back To

You already know the feeling of finishing something small and having it turn out better than you hoped. This cardigan is built for that moment. Tiny, textured, and genuinely sweet to make.

Whether it's for a new grandchild, a baby shower gift, or just because you spotted that perfect speckled skein and couldn't stop yourself, this is a project worth casting on.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 6 sizes from 3-6 months up to 3-4 years (chest circumference 58-76 cm / 22.8-29.9 inches when closed)

• Top down in one piece with minimal seaming, so you spend less time finishing and more time enjoying the process
• Six sizes with detailed blocked measurements included, so you can make it to fit the actual child in mind, not just a generic size
• A soft contrast neckband worked in a second yarn adds a subtle color detail that makes the finished piece look more considered without extra complexity

          "Turned out so much better than I expected. Everyone asked who made it."
