My children are still at the age where a hand knit school cardigan is something they are happy to wear proudly and tell their friends all about. I know the day will come when there will be a refusal but I am in total denial about that at the moment so I gladly knit one each term.



This is made from Sirdar bamboo and is really silky to the touch so is ideal to wear with a short sleeved school dress.I got the back to match the fronts eventually! My favourite yarn to knit school wear from is Patons Smoothie. It washes over and over without going bobbly and dries quickly but looks like cotton. Between my mum and I we have amassed quite a few over the infant years.








This is for Big Sis in summer term, a cotton linen short sleeved, short body cardigan to wear over her school gingham dress. All she needs now is a longer skirt, that girl is growing fast. I might try something pleated.

Happy knitting. What is on your needles? Jo x
