Mara Faux Cable Peplum Cardigan 6 Months - 4 Years Knitting Pattern

Mara is an elegant DK-weight cardigan featuring a soft peplum hem and a faux cable stitch pattern that gives the look of intricate cabling - without the need for a cable needle. With gentle shaping, a smart ribbed neckline, and a button-down front, it's a beautiful yet practical piece for little ones.

The pattern includes four sizes: 6–12 months (20"), 1–2 years (22"), 2–3 years (24"), and 3–4 years (26"). You’ll need 2–3 x 100g balls of DK yarn, 3.5mm and 4mm needles, and 5–6 buttons to complete the look.

Mara is perfect for confident knitters ready to explore structure and texture, and the design lends itself beautifully to both soft solids and heathered shades.

Available as a PDF download or a printed pattern.
