The Diamond Cardigan

*The Diamond Cardigan knitting pattern* The Diamond Cardigan pattern was born after I designed the [The Diamond Blanket](/patterns/library/the-diamond-blanket) and [The Diamond Hat](/patterns/library/the-diamond-hat-2). I had to finish off the set with a cardigan pattern. You can purchase all 3 patterns in [The Simple Diamond Collection](/patterns/sources/the-simple-diamond-collection). This pattern is knit from the top down, and is a raglan style cardigan. It's fun to watch the cardigan take shape as you knit with the little diamonds topping it off. **Sizes:** This pattern comes in 11 different sizes: (Chest Circumference) **NB:** 16" (40.5 cm) **3 MTHS:** 18" (46 cm) **6 MTHS:**19" (48 cm) **12 MTHS:** 20" (51 cm) **18 MTHS:** 21" (53.5 cm) **2T:** 23" (58.5 cm) **4 Y:** 26" (66 cm) **6 Y:** 28" (71 cm) **8 Y:** 30" (76 cm) **10 Y:** 32" (81 cm) **12 Y:** 34" (86.5 cm) This pattern was designed with [Knit Picks Swish Worsted yarn](https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-worsted-yarn/c/5420153?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=third-party&utm_campaign=SASGEN&sscid=a1k4_e5jl0).
