Striped Baby Cardigan

YARN For this delightful newborn knitting project, we recommend using Lana Grossa “Solo Cashmere 110,” which boasts 120.0 yards (110.0 m) per 25g skein. You will need 1 skein in Nr.117 (Main Color, taupe) and 1 skein in Nr.109 (Contrast Color, beige) to complete your design.

NEEDLES Ensure you have a set of Size 4 (3.5mm) circular knitting needles, ideally in lengths of 60cm or 80cm, along with double-pointed needles (DPN) for ease of working in the round. Don’t forget to gather a stitch marker and 2 buttons to add the perfect finishing touches to your piece!

GAUGE Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for this knitting pattern. You should aim for 23 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. If your gauge differs from this, feel free to adjust the needle size accordingly to ensure a perfect fit for your newborn.

SIZE This pattern is designed specifically for newborns, making it an ideal gift for new parents or for your own little one. The cozy, soft cashmere blend will wrap your baby in comfort.
