Cardigans and sweaters are very universal, because they can be worn during every season.
A nice, easy crochet cardigan pattern will be a great pastime this year. Make it on a chilly summer evening, autumn day and even winter time. They are very warm, so every kid will stay nice and cosy wearing them. The best part is, that you can customize them easily by adding some elements that you like, like bows, graphing, shiny stars, snowflakes, or whatever suits your needs. Those patterns will also make great gifts for future parents and everyone, who’s got kids. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
