Khel (Baby) Contiguous Cardigan

**Seamless Sweater Knitting Pattern: Try the Contiguous Sleeve Method!** If you’re an avid knitter who has explored various methods for creating seamless sweaters, you definitely need to give the Contiguous Sleeve Method a try! Developed by the talented Susie Meyers, this innovative technique allows you to knit sleeves seamlessly alongside the body of the sweater, closely mimicking the classic set-in sleeve shaping. I am excited to share my first published design using this method, and I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did! For this pattern, I crafted a short-sleeved sweater using three vibrant colors of Lion Brand Cotton-Ease straight from my stash. With approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of ease incorporated into the calculations, this sweater is designed for both comfort and style. **Key Highlights of the Design:** - **Top-Down Construction:** This sweater is knit from the top down, allowing for easy fitting as you go. - **Completely Seamless:** Enjoy the benefits of knitting a garment in one continuous piece. Say goodbye to sewing seams! - **Contiguous Set-In Sleeve Method:** The sleeves are shaped seamlessly at the same time as the neck using this advanced technique. - **Simultaneous Cast On:** Employ two methods of cast on to create a professional finish. **Sizes Available:** This pattern includes a variety of sizes to accommodate growing little ones: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The corresponding chest sizes are: (23.60, 25.20, 25.60, 26.80, 27.60) inches / (59.00, 63.00, 64.00, 67.00, 69.00) cms. **Gauge:** A gauge of 20 stitches is recommended for this pattern to ensure a perfect fit and consistent fabric.
