Child's Chunky Cardigan & Hooded Jacket Knitting Pattern - 8491

£3.50
Knit charming, cosy layers for babies and toddlers with this Stylecraft 8491 knitting pattern. Designed for chunky weight yarns, this practical leaflet includes instructions to create three lovely nursery essentials: a classic round neck buttoned cardigan, a snug hooded cardigan, and a sweet coordinating pull-on hat. Working with chunky yarn on 5mm and 6mm needles means each piece stitches up remarkably quickly, creating warm, soft garments that are ideal for pram outings, family visits, and chilly days. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a wide variety of quality Chunky yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite nursery shades and cast on straight away.
