Trellis Sweater: A Shawl Collar Cabled Cardigan for the Baby

Shawl Collar Cardigan | The Crafting Foodie

Do you ever see an item of children's clothing and just fall in love? You have to have it. No. Matter. What. Well, that's how I felt the first time I laid eyes on this shawl collar cable cardigan.

I love cable patterns (as you can tell from these mittens), and the cable design in this cardigan is stunning. I'm so in love with it that I'm thinking of using a version of the cable pattern to make a throw for the sofa in our family room.

The sweater is actually made out of a cotton yarn. I wanted to take photographs of the baby wearing it outside, but it's been too frigid to wear outside without a jacket. I'm hoping that she can continue wearing her cardigan through the spring since it's cotton.

I love these photographs. It looks like she's posing for the camera, but really she was just wiggling around like she usually does 🙂

The yarn I used for the sweater is Rowan All-Season's Cotton in Cookie. The color and yarn does an excellent job of showcasing the cable pattern, and since it is cotton, it really can be all year, either as a layer in cold weather or as an outer-layer in warmer weather. The pattern for this sweater is free. The talented knitters over at knitty.com created it, and it can be found here.

My sweet little girl loves the sweater, and that makes me love the sweater even more!

    This is adorable, Aida! I agree with Stephanie, this sweater could be worn by many lucky children. I love cable knit and the colour is perfect.
