Baby Sheep Cardigan and Hat
Introducing our adorable baby cardigan and hat set featuring soft and fluffy sheep, perfect for infants and toddlers from birth to 18 months. This charming knitting pattern is designed for beginners and uses simple garter stitch and stocking stitch techniques, making it easy to follow along. The delightful sheep design is intricately knitted on the fronts of both the cardigan and hat, offering an excellent opportunity to practice your intarsia knitting skills, also known as picture knitting.
The pattern requires 2 to 4 (depending on the size you choose) 50-gram balls of double knitting yarn (DK/8 ply, 11 wpi) for the main color. To bring the adorable sheep to life, you'll need a small amount of black double knitting yarn, as well as one 25-gram ball of Sirdar Snowflake DK or a similar fluffy yarn to create that irresistible texture. This combination of yarn will ensure your project is as soft as it is stylish.
For added convenience, you'll need 3 small buttons to complete the front of the cardigan. These little details not only enhance the overall look but also make dressing your little one effortless.
The recommended tension for this pattern is 22 stitches and 28 rows over 10cm (4 inches) using 4 mm (UK8 - USA6) knitting needles in stocking stitch. This ensures that your final garment will fit well and maintain its shape wash after wash.
Rating: Easy – This pattern is ideal for beginner knitters who wish to create a unique and thoughtful gift for a baby shower or simply want to indulge in their creative side. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just picking up your needles, our sheep-themed baby cardigan and hat set will provide hours of enjoyable crafting. Get started on this fun project today, and watch your little one's wardrobe flourish with this charming handmade piece!
