A colourful cotton cardigan for a new baby, with a buttoned front and gentle gradient stripes. The pattern includes four baby sizes. Knitted in Sesia Iride 4ply organic cotton.

Construction

The fronts and back are knitted flat. Sleeve stitches are picked up at the shoulders and worked down to the cuffs, then seams and bands complete the cardigan. You will use shaping, picking up stitches and buttonholes.

Sizes and Measurements

Chest measurements are to-fit measurements, not finished garment circumferences.

Before You Start with Iride

The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.

Yarn Requirements

All four sizes use 450 metres. Choose the pattern size before casting on; the quantities are for one cardigan.

Needles and Notions

2.75 mm and 3.00 mm knitting needles, or sizes needed to match the pattern tension.

Four stitch markers and a tapestry needle for seaming and ends. Five buttons are required.

Pattern Tension

28 stitches and 40 rows to 10 cm in stocking stitch on 3.00 mm needles.

Recommended Yarn

Sesia Iride 4ply organic cotton, 450 metres per cake. Work with a single strand; yarn is purchased separately.
