Happy Hearts Child Cardigan

The Happy Hearts Cardigan is a sweet and versatile baby crochet cardigan pattern designed for little ones from 0–6 months right through to children aged 10. Featuring the beautiful heart motifs from the Happy Hearts collection, this crochet heart cardigan pattern is worked from the top down, beginning with an overlay mosaic crochet yoke worked back and forth in rows. The body is then worked in easy join-as-you-go rows, with the sleeves added in turned rounds — a clever construction that gives you plenty of freedom to adjust the finished cardigan as you crochet. The beautiful mosaic hearts create plenty of detail while using simple US single crochet and double crochet stitches. The pattern includes both fully written instructions and complete mosaic charts for the yoke, so you can follow whichever format suits you best. Once the heart yoke is complete, there are plenty of ways to make this child crochet cardigan pattern your own. You can: Adjust the body length to suit your child. Make the sleeves to your preferred length. Add cuffs or leave them off for a simpler finish. Play with contrasting, tonal or completely different colour combinations. Flip your heart and background colours for a completely different look. The result is a wonderfully wearable crochet cardigan pattern for kids that can be personalised for the little person you're making it for. ⚠️ Important Information This listing is for a digital PDF download, not a finished item.
