This cute and feminine crochet baby cardigan, is so adorable to wear with a light floral dress on a warm spring or summer day. It has a beautiful vintage-like look, and fits perfectly with adorable dresses and more. It is crocheted in soft Cotton Merino with a 4 mm. crochet hook, and is very nicely light and soft, as it is crocheted in the incredibly delicious yarn, Drops cotton merino, which is great to wear directly against the skin even for delicate toddlers.
The name Parisian Cardigan comes from the beautiful stitch that I used for this pattern, called “Parisian Stitch”. This cardigan is easy and simple to crochet and you can easily join even if you are only quite new to crochet.

Crochet a nice border of SC all around the edge opening of your cardigan as well as neckline. When you get to where you would like to place your buttonholes. Make 4 CH and attach the buttonhole to the edge of the opening with a SC in the next ST. Fasten off and weave in your ends thoroughly.
Sew your buttons into your cardigan, precisely on the opposite side of your buttonholes.
