Layering is one of the most important things you can do for babies and children. You should be comfortable in any weather. When the breeze starts, a small cardigan is a good choice. All of these ten crochet cardigan models are designed for the little ones. They’re especially cute and fun. So be sure to mark patterns and use them frequently.

Since the smallest size is suitable for a newborn, it is the baby’s first crochet jacket. However, it is also designed as the first cardigan. It is really easy for a beginner to go through this pattern. They are going to be crocheted in five sections, each one is crocheted individually, then they are sewn and some buttons are added.

If you love it, do more. There are four additional sizes available up to a year old so you can keep the baby warm for the first year.

Mini Cozy Cardigan Pattern

This crochet pattern no. 4 for children’s cardigans is called medium / worst weight yarn. I prefer to use washable thread for all children’s projects. For the Mini Cozy Cardigan I chose Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek, a smooth, washable, low-pile acrylic yarn.

When choosing which thread you want to use for this pattern, make sure that it has the worst weight number 4 on the thread label. Then buy enough skeins of the yarn that you plan to use so that you have the total number of yards required in the pattern for the size you made.
