Babies inspire some of our prettiest ideas, and when a little one is on the way or has recently arrived, we channel our best intentions into our knitting needles. One such result is our Baby Colorwork Cardigan! Previously known as our Baby Fair Isle Cardigan, we also updated the yardage requirements and colors because Posy has a new 50-gram skein size and a fresh palette of pretty hand-dyed colors. Soft, cozy, and machine-washable, Posy is perfect for the messy work of being a baby! Aside from these changes, our Baby Colorwork Cardigan remains the same crowd favorite with its super simple bottom up, one-piece construction. A built-in button band means no picking up stitches, and crochet-loop buttonholes save the complication of keeping track of when to knit one in.
