What baby doesn't need a sweet little rainbow cardigan? Renboga is the old English word for rainbow, a perfect word for a classic style with a modern twist. With 8 sizes from newborn to 10 years old, it appeals to the littlest little ones and the bigger ones as well. This beginner friendly cardigan starts from the top down, with the cast on creating the neck edge. The buttonholes are worked down one side of the body, so nothing needs to be picked up or sewn on later. Increases are worked at 4 points around the body to create raglan sleeves. After the increases the sleeves are put aside to knit the body, then returned to the sleeves knit in the round later. This is an A4 printed paper pattern which will be shipped in a hard backed envelope.
