Washable Knitting for Little Ones

Designing for kids is one of my favorite things to do. I don't have any little ones in particular to knit or design for in my life right now, but the little kid in me has so much fun daydreaming of little florals, polka dots, stripes and quirky toys. I end up wanting the designs in my size! Doing this job, I’ve learned that I have to keep practicality in mind when it comes to babies and children. Specifically, I try to design in a soft but washable blend, because you can't always control what messes little people will get into. Our Vintage® collection is perfect for these projects. Vintage is a super-soft, washable wool blend with lots of yardage. Today's precious free pattern, Kelcema, is knit in Vintage® Colors - a worsted weight version of the Vintage you love, dyed in multi-colored shades. Before you go, make sure you watch Kelcema's 360° view. It's extra special, because it stars Norah’s granddaughter, Edie.

This simple garter stitch cardigan is a perfect layering piece for winter, spring and fall. With only a few buttons at the neck, you can throw it on your little one and they are ready to go!
