Jacquard-Technique Sweater With Bunny Motifs

Child’s Sizes: 1 and 2 Years

This adorable 1980s vintage bunny cardigan is a charming jacquard-style jacket featuring delightful white bunny motifs against a soft blue background. Worked primarily in smooth stockinette stitch with garter stitch accents, the pattern creates a classic, timeless look that’s perfect for fall and winter wear. The cardigan is thoughtfully constructed from five separate pieces — the back, two fronts, and two sleeves — each knitted individually from the bottom up. These pieces are then seamed together for a traditional, high-quality finish with excellent structure and durability. This construction method also makes it easier to customize length or modify fit if desired.With its long sleeves, button-front closure, and playful bunny design, this vintage knitting pattern produces a cozy, eye-catching toddler cardigan that stands out in any wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for a special handmade gift or a nostalgic project for yourself, this pattern delivers both knitting enjoyment and a beautiful finished garment.
