Bunbury Cable Sweater
Discover our beautiful, gender-neutral cable panel sweater pattern, perfect for babies aged 0 to 2 years. This exquisite design features intricate cable stitch details on the front, back, and sleeves, making it a charming addition to any little one's wardrobe. Our pattern includes detailed instructions for six different sizes, ensuring a perfect fit as your baby grows.
One of the standout features of this sweater is the convenient button opening across the left shoulder, which allows for easy dressing and undressing. This thoughtful design element makes it practical for parents while keeping fashion in mind.
Our sweater is knitted using DK (light worsted / 8 ply) yarn, providing a soft and comfortable feel against your baby's skin. You'll find that this pattern is versatile and can be knitted in a variety of yarn types as long as you achieve the required knit tension (detailed below). Whether you prefer breathable cotton, cozy wool, or easy-care acrylic blends, this design works beautifully across different fabrics. For a touch of luxury, I have crafted the sample using Sirdar's Cashmere, Merino, Silk DK yarn.
The recommended knit tension for your project is 22 stitches and 28 rows over a 10cm x 10cm (4'' x 4'') square, achieved using 4mm (US6) needles and worked in stocking/stockinette stitch. As you embark on this delightful knitting journey, please note that the pattern requires the ability to follow written instructions for the cable panels on both the body and sleeves. Unfortunately, there are no chart instructions available for the cable patterns.
This lovely cable panel sweater is not just a pattern; it’s an ideal project for knitters of all levels, from beginners desiring a cute addition to their knitting repertoire, to experienced knitters looking for a quick yet satisfying project. Create a timeless piece that will be cherished for years to come, whether as a thoughtful gift or a special outfit for your baby. Get started today and bring this adorable sweater to life!
