Easy cardigan patterns
Shawl collar cardigan This is a good pattern if you have never knitted a cardigan before. It has a collar but no complicated stitches and is easy to follow. Cropped cardigan knitting pattern This cardigan is a cropped with long sleeves. It is finished with a pretty lace edging that is easy for the beginning knitter. Charlie’s Cardi If you want to try knitting a cardigan for a child first, give this pattern a try. It’s small; three to 24 months, so that means it will knit up fast. Peplum cardigan This is one of my personal favorites. It’s a cardigan but is very in style with its peplum — cute!
Advanced cardigan patterns
Trellis stitch shawl collar cardigan knitting pattern This is a very pretty pattern but is more advanced. It has a pretty “embossed” trellis design that may be a bit tricky for less advanced knitters to accomplish. Brioche stitch baby cardigan This cardigan is for nine months to 24 months. It won’t take much time size-wise but this pattern is for experienced knitters only — so worth it! Ardsley jacket Another advanced free knitting pattern, this is a very pretty feminine cardigan for women. Well… this should get you started. This is just a sampling but one that has been conveniently sorted for you according to your skill level. So what are you waiting for? You have your needles.
