...THE classic traditional style in miniature...
For this
easy-to-knit baby traditional cardigan
, you’ll need approx. 100 g of 4-ply sock yarn, e.g., Zimba Top by Schoeller+Stahl in classic traditional gray + 50 g (or leftover yarn) of Regia 4-ply yarn in traditional green for the edging, size 3.0 knitting needles, and, if needed, a size 3–3.5 crochet hook for the decorative chain stitch trim on the placket.
The
PDF pattern includes illustrations
.
You’ll also receive, as a bonus, a simplified version of my
Excel spreadsheet for quickly converting your gauge
to your desired size (applicable to all knitted/crocheted pieces; requires a spreadsheet program such as Excel or LibreOffice, the latter of which is available for free online).
Basic knitting skills
are required (i.e., these steps are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills
: cross cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increase stitches from the strand between stitches, yarn over (for the buttonholes), knit 2 stitches together.
By the way: This jacket can also be knitted
as a vest
without sleeves (in which case, crochet around the armholes once in green using single crochet stitches).
