KNITTING PATTERN -- Baby Sideways Knit Cardigan with Stripe Pattern - P066
This cardigan is knitted from side to side, commencing at sleeve. A very easy pattern that would be appropriate for both boys and girls so you can get knitting before the baby’s gender is known. The garter stitch creates a comfy, stretchy fabric that makes sizing more flexible so it can be worn for more than just a few weeks. The striping sequence is just enough to be interesting. This project works up quickly and does not require constant attention. Very little sewing involved.
