Cardigan for children

Knitted cardigan for a child with delicate skin

Many children have delicate skin, and therefore it is also not unusual for them to feel that wool can scratch. Often you can avoid this nuisance if you choose wool yarn of a good quality such as Mayflower Easy Care, Which we highly recommend for both children and babies.

If you have a child with delicate skin, a cardigan can be an excellent alternative to a more traditional knitted blouse. A knitted blouse often has direct contact with the baby's skin, while you can easily wear a blouse under a cardigan so that the baby's skin does not come into direct contact with the yarn.

In short - it is terribly unfortunate to spend time knitting a blouse that is not used, then knit a cardigan if you have a general experience that your child has delicate skin.

Good advice to get the right size cardigan

It can be a challenge to hit the right size of knitted or crochet cardigans, and it only gets harder when making clothes for children. Children grow fast, and if you are not careful, you can easily risk a cardigan already being too small when it is finished. Therefore, it is always a good idea to make the cardigan at least one size larger than the child.

As you knit or crochet a cardigan for a child, you also need to make sure you have control of knitting or crochet strength. In practice, this means that you should consider doing a sample so that you are sure that the size is right. Knitting and crochet strength is important for the fit, so do not prioritize this element.

Last but not least, you can also consider adding a little extra length to the sleeves of the cardigan so it can fit the baby for a longer period of time. This is especially a good idea if you make a long or half -long cardigan, because here it will take a long time before the length of the cardigan becomes too short.
