NATURALLY K457 ROLLED-EDGE SWEATER & HAT KNITTING PATTERN
A simple rolled-edge sweater and matching hat for babies and young children, with six sizes from newborn to 3–4 years.
Pattern overview: The sweater’s back, front and sleeves are knitted flat and seamed, with deliberately rolled stocking-stitch edges and a picked-up neck finish. The hat is knitted flat with a ribbed lower edge, shaped crown and back seam. A confident beginner can enjoy the straightforward construction; the finishing and shaping make it a good step towards intermediate projects.
