Knitting For Olive | Baby Olive Cardigan Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Lace-Lover’s Baby Cardigan
Wrap your little one in the delicate charm of the Baby Olive Cardigan, part of Knitting for Olive’s beloved Olive collection. This timeless design features an elegant all-over lace motif with neat ribbed trims, perfect for adding a touch of handcrafted beauty to everyday wear.
Seamlessly knitted from the top down, the cardigan begins with a ribbed neckband before flowing into a raglan-style yoke. The body is worked flat while the sleeves are knit in the round for a smooth, tidy finish. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is completed, then picked up again to complete the look. Finally, button bands are added by picking up stitches along the front edges, ensuring a polished and snug fit.
The lace detail is worked from a charted pattern, making this a satisfying knit for those who enjoy following visual instructions. Paired with the softness and stitch definition of Knitting for Olive Merino, this project delivers both beauty and practicality in one gentle package.
