The plain stockinette body, raglan shaping, and garter ridge bands marking each increase round are typical of home knitting patterns that stayed popular from the 1970s, well before novelty yarns and printed knits took over children's cardigans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaping is a top-down raglan, sleeves set in on the diagonal rather than at a seam, with two horizontal garter ridge bands crossing the yoke where the increases happen. The cuffs, hem, and collar all finish plain, letting the striped buttons carry the detail instead. A relaxed, boxy cut with room to grow into.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44198521503878,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_4321.jpg?v=1785390906","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/orchid-ridge-handmade-1970s-80s-wool-kids-cardigan","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
