NATURALLY K447 RAGLAN CARDIGAN & HAT KNITTING PATTERN
A practical baby cardigan with classic raglan shaping and a coordinating hat, sized from newborn to 12–18 months.
Pattern overview: The sleeves are knitted flat first and held while the cardigan body is worked in one piece to the underarms. Body and sleeves are then joined and the raglan yoke is worked together. Front bands are picked up separately. The hat is knitted flat, crown-shaped and seamed. This is an intermediate project for knitters comfortable with raglan shaping, picking up stitches and seaming.
