..THE traditional classic in the tiniest format..
For this easy-to-knit traditional baby cardigan, you will need approx. 100 g, e.g. Zimba Top by Schoeller+Stahl in classic traditional gray + 50 g (or leftover yarn) Regia 4-ply for the edging knitted in traditional green, knitting needle size 3.0, and if needed a 3 - 3.5 crochet hook for the decorative chain-stitch chain on the front band.
The
PDF file contains 15 images including a link to my free measurement charts (I am working on additional charts and may expand the existing ones further—therefore the link).
The download also includes an
Excel spreadsheet for quickly converting your gauge to your desired size (usable for all knitted/crocheted pieces). This requires a spreadsheet program such as Excel or LibreOffice (the latter is available for free on the web at
http://de.libreoffice.org/ ).
Basic knitting skills are assumed (i.e., they are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills: long-tail cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increasing stitches (from the strand between stitches), yarn over (for the buttonholes), knit 2 stitches together.
By the way: This
jacket can also be knitted without sleeves (then crochet around the armholes in green 1 x with single crochet stitches)
as a vest.
