Knitting pattern for top Down Baby Rainbow Cardigan and hat.
Please note this listing is for the knitting pattern NOT the finished item,
Knitting pattern for a delightful baby cardigan set in 4 ply wool. Top down design which means the backs, fronts and button borders are knitted in one piece so there are no side seams to stitch. The sleeves are also knitted as part of the main body (on straight needles as I'm not a fan of knitting on DPN's) so there are only the two sleeve seams to knit. Easy pattern for a reasonably experienced knitter.
Sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-12 months.
Measurements; Chest; 16", (20",22")
Length;9.5", (10.5", 12"). Underarm; 4", (4.5", 5.5")
Hat; 2 sizes; 10" (12") circumference stretching to 13" (16").
Knitted with baby 4 ply wool that knits to a tension of 28sts and 36 rows to 4" on 3.5mm needles.
Knitted on 3.5mm and 3.0mm single point needles, (US 4 & 3). I preferred circular needles as these are easier when knitting a garment in the top down all in one method.
You will also need 2 stitch holders, 4 stitch markers and 4 buttons.
Thank you for choosing my pattern. Your pattern will be colour printed on A4 paper. It will also be laminated so that it will wipe clean if you spill your tea or coffee on it, (like I often do!)
