A cosy knit with a little extra charm

This two colour bubble sleeve cardigan is one of those pieces that looks just as lovely on the needles as it does finished.

The chunky yarn creates a soft, snuggly texture, while the contrast sleeves add a fun, modern twist. Finished with a simple i-cord tie, it’s a sweet and practical layer for little ones.
