Rudy Cardigan Crochet Pattern PDF | Baby & Children’s Cardigan
The Rudy Cardigan is a beautifully textured crochet cardigan featuring soft ribbing, structured shaping, and a timeless vintage-inspired silhouette.
Designed as a classic layering piece, this cardigan combines gentle structure with everyday comfort. It pairs beautifully with dresses, bloomers, or simple outfits, making it a versatile wardrobe staple for little ones.
The Rudy Cardigan is worked from the top down using raglan construction. Structured increases shape the yoke while textured stitch detail creates a soft, cosy fabric. After sleeve separation, the body is worked straight before finishing with ribbed edging.
