Corinna Cardigan
Baby cardigan with an eyelet pattern
- Size 6-12 months -

Materials
- 150 grams of yarn for size 3 mm needles (the cardigan in the picture is made in Garnstudio
Drops Baby Merino color no. 37 - light lavender)

- Size 2,5 and 3 mm needles (straight or circular)

- 6 buttons

Tips and info

The cardigan is worked back and forth. It is made in 5 pieces - back, 2 fronts and 2 sleeves - that
are then sewn together (apart from the shoulder seem). Lastly the neckband and two front bands
are worked from picked up sts.

Please note that the two fronts are not the same width. The opening in the front is therefore not
down the center but a little to the side.

Buttonholes are worked as follows: k 2 tog, yo

Full length: 26 cm

Now work diagram B with one extra st on each side. Repeat the first 12 sts a total of 6 times while
only working the last st of the diagram once (at the end of the row but before the extra st). Work

Now work diagram C with one extra st on each side. Repeat the first 12 sts a total of 6 times while
