Shumard Cardigan Knitting Pattern

The Shumard Cardigan is a versatile and cozy sweater for little ones, worked in separate panels.

The back is knit from the bottom up, followed by the fronts with the necessary decreases shaping the neckline. Finally, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked flat from the shoulder down.

As you progress, the unique texture emerges naturally, creating a soft and stylish piece. It pairs beautifully with everything and is a comfortable staple for your little one’s wardrobe.
