Chestnut Hill Gansey Baby Cardigan
Introducing our delightful fisherman-style cardigan, inspired by the classic yoke pattern that captures the charm of the historic trolley tracks and cobblestones found in Philadelphia's picturesque Chestnut Hill neighborhood. This sweet little cardigan is not only stylish but also perfect for keeping your little one cozy during chilly days.
This versatile pattern is available in two sizes: Newborn to 6 months and 6 to 12 months, making it a wonderful gift for infants and toddlers alike. The finished chest sizes measure 20 inches for the smaller size and 22 inches for the larger one, providing a comfortable fit for your growing baby.
To create this cardigan, you will need approximately 325 yards of DK weight yarn for the smaller size and 350 yards for the larger size. Pair it with the right tools: a size 6 knitting needle (or the size necessary to obtain the correct gauge) and four 1/2 inch buttons to complete the look. Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch.
Why not enhance the outfit with a matching accessory? Make a coordinating Chestnut Hill Gansey Baby Cap! This adorable cap complements the cardigan beautifully and adds an extra layer of warmth.
Begin your knitting adventure today and create a charming, unique piece that will not only keep your baby snug but also serve as a charming keepsake that captures the essence of Chestnut Hill's lovely aesthetic. Happy knitting!
