Robin Garter Stitch Cardi
Delight in the simplicity of crafting this incredibly soft and cozy little jacket and hat, perfect for your newborn's first few weeks. This pattern features an easy garter stitch combined with a delicate lace edging, lending a nod to traditional knitting aesthetics without overwhelming complexity. The charming jacket pairs beautifully over a little dress, complements a pair of rompers, or provides warmth over an all-in-one outfit for those early precious days. Plus, the matching hat can be made gender-neutral by skipping the lace edge, allowing it to be suitable for boys and girls alike. Designed for warmth and comfort, this ensemble is ideal for outings in the pram, ensuring your little one stays cozy and stylish.
The thoughtful design includes raglan sleeves, making the jacket incredibly easy to put on and take off those tiny newborn arms, which is a lifesaver for parents. I originally knitted mine in luxurious Merino wool, known for its softness, but feel free to choose a yarn that is a bit more "wash-friendly," ensuring convenience in your busy parenting routine. This lovely jacket and hat set is not only practical but also a wonderful gift for baby showers or newborn welcomes, offering both warmth and a touch of handmade charm.
With this knitting pattern, you can create a timeless piece that your little one will treasure as they grow. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this simple yet elegant design is sure to provide a satisfying and enjoyable crafting experience.
