Bavarian Cardi

"Comfy and warm, the Bavarian Cardi is heavy enough for layering on cold winter days. The stitch pattern is fun to do, and creates an eye-catching, raised, diamond texture. With a unisex design and sizes ranging from 6 months to 4T, this is a great go-to pattern for gifting! If you haven't tried this stitch before, don't worry! The pattern includes a short tutorial for it, and a link to a more complete photo and video tutorial."
