Autumn Rainbow Toddler Cardigan (knit)

Baby sweaters knit up quick, especially with bulky yarn. Great little projects to practice on!

Love the asymmetry and self-striping yarn! 

Materials

• less than 2 balls of Isaac Mizrahi Craft Yarn Sutton in Amsterdam
• 1 ball is 68 yds, 4oz
• 85% acrylic, 15% wool
• recommends US 17 (12.75 mm) knitting needles for 4" x 4" = 8S x 11R
• used US 15 (10.0 mm) 29 inch circular knitting needles (gauge: 4" x 4" = 9S x 12R)
• yarn needle
• stitch markers
• large button

Finished Measurements:

• chest circumference = 20 inches
• back waist length from top of collar to bottom hem = 10.5 inches
• armhole depth = 4.5 inches

Notes: 

• Inspired by Taiga Hilliard Designs' "Wee Zippy" pattern.
• Followed pattern above but used bulkier yarn and bigger needles to make it a bigger size. Finished measurements approximately fits for 12-18 month old. 
• For the repetition of rows 11 and 12, repeated until sweater measures 6 inches instead of the 4 inches specified in the pattern.Wanted a longer length to go over the hips. Plus, needed a longer length due to age.
