Are you knitting for the new baby or young child in your life? Gidday by tiKKi (Australian designer Georgie Nicholson) is one of our go-to designs whenever anyone asks for a cardigan for a baby or child. This superbly simple cardigan is super soft and cosy, easy to get on to a wiggling baby (nothing over the head!), perfect for girls and boys, and is basic enough for any knitter who has mastered the fundamental knit and purl stitches! It's a comfortable design for children up to 12 years and is easy to put on as there are only a few buttons, yet it stays securely fastened.
This cardigan is knit top down and seamlessly, with added attention paid to the simple details. The body is knit flat and the sleeves are knit in the round. Simple yarn over increases, which can be worked as a feature or closed, are used to shape the garter yoke.
Each set contains all the yarn you need to finish the pattern for your selected size. Please note, the pattern must be purchased separately from Ravelry here. There are two versions (see below).
Finished sizes (chest measurements): the pattern has 15 sizes from 38-76cm / 15-30" (newborn to 12 years).
