Lace Cable Baby Cardigan
This adorable baby cardigan is expertly knitted in a traditional manner, comprising a Back, Left Front, Right Front, and Sleeves that are seamlessly joined together. To complete this charming design, a cozy Neckband is added at the end.
You can choose between DK (double knitting) or 4ply yarn for this delightful baby cardigan pattern. When knitted in DK yarn, this cardigan is designed to fit a baby around 12 months of age, boasting a 22-inch chest measurement. Please keep in mind that one 100g ball of (UK) DK acrylic yarn may not be sufficient to complete the entire cardigan, so gauge your yarn needs accordingly!
If you opt for 4ply yarn, using 3.25mm needles will yield a cardigan that fits a baby aged approximately 3 to 6 months with an 18-inch chest. For a slightly larger fit, knitting with 4ply and 3.5mm needles will accommodate a baby aged 6 to 9 months, featuring a delightful 19.5-inch chest measurement.
The borders of this lovely cardigan can be crafted in either rib or garter stitch, giving you the freedom to tailor the design to your personal preferences. However, be advised that the lacy cable section requires a bit of concentration and skill, so this particular pattern may not be the best choice for novice knitters. If you’re an experienced knitter looking for an engaging project, this elegant baby cardigan will surely impress family and friends!
When completed, this pretty little cardigan not only keeps your little one warm but also garners compliments for its intricate design. So grab your yarn and needles, and enjoy the creative process! Happy knitting!
