Who does not love a punny little cardigan? Perfect for enjoying the outdoors with your little ones. Packed with personality and lots of fun to knit to!

This super cute set-in sleeve cardigan has a moss stitch rib and button fastening. The sleeves are worked using a stripe sequence with columns of purl stitches. Once the sleeve is completed, a crochet hook is used to work a column of stitches into the purl ‘ditch’ row, full instructions are included. The mustroom character is worked separately and sewn on afterwards.
