Secret Garden Toddler Cardigan Crochet Pattern

February 17, 2017 Category: Children / Crochet / Patterns / Sweaters + Cardigans

One of the most tranquil places to pass time is sitting on a rustic park bench, surrounded by flowers, listening to the birds chirping away. It’s no secret at all that I love gardens, flowers and honeybees, so when I read “The Secret Garden” for the very first time as a little girl, I instantly fell in love with the idea of a private sanctuary, overflowing with an array of brightly coloured blossoms.

Throughout Spring, there is nothing more enjoyable than adding a a touch of whimsical charm to your little lady’s wardrobe in the form of a sweet Secret Garden Cardigan!

Every little girl would look incredibly sweet and adorable as she skips through a garden in this vintage outfit!.. And the best part, the cardigan is extremely fun and easy to crochet and can be whipped up in a weekend!
