If you don’t know where to start, Stylecraft Wondersoft Baby Double Knitting is an example of a soft baby yarn in lovely pastel colors.
Is This Baby Cardigan Suitable For Beginners?
Yes, it is! This pattern is very easy to complete, as its name suggests. It incorporates basic stitches only and is mostly done with double crochets, so it’s suitable for beginners.
First, you’re going to work the yoke and then crochet the lower part of the cardigan, leaving two armholes. Once done, the sleeves are worked directly on the body. The last step is finishing your cardigan with a cute braid edging around the yoke.
What Baby Sizes Does This Cardigan Fit?
The finished cardigan is suitable for babies from 3 to 6 months old. It will make a perfect fit for newborns and infants, so if you are looking for a baby shower gift idea, this pattern will certainly do. You tweak the sleeve length by reducing the number of worked rounds to make them shorter or adding rounds to make them longer. The same applies to the general length of the cardigan.
