Renboga Baby and Kids Cardigan Kit

This is a KIT ONLY, not a finished sweater.

Please note that this is a preorder, kits and anything else ordered with them will ship starting from November 2nd 2023.

What baby doesn't need a sweet little rainbow cardigan? Renboga is the old English word for rainbow, a perfect word for a classic style with a modern twist.

The beginner friendly pattern is knit as a top down raglan with the button band included in the main body pieces. This means you'll only have to pick up a few stitches for the underarm, and no sewing up! 

This pattern includes 8 sizes for newborn to 10 years old.

The kit includes:
5g of each rainbow colour
5 or 7 buttons depending on size
main colour yarn in Rocket Ship (navy) or Fluffy Clouds (cream)
paper pattern for the cardigan 
bonus bonnet pattern

If you purchase the 1-2 size kit but knit a smaller size you should have enough leftover rainbow in the kit to knit a matching bonnet as well.

Include your Ravelry name or email and I will send you the digital pattern and you will be able to receive any future updates.
