Rowan Natalia from Precious Knits is a gorgeous Fair Isle baby/child’s sweater knit in Baby Cashsoft Merino. The cardigan is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seams together before knitting the yoke. To complete the set, you’ll want to knit Isla! Baby Cashsoft Merino is a wonderfully soft yarn that will create fabrics that are next-to-skin-soft, warm, and snuggly. Textured stitches will stand at attention and cables will pop with this merino, cashmere and acrylic blend. It’s machine washable too, making it perfect for this cardigan. The Fair Isle pattern is in chart form only.
