PDF Baby Bodysuit and Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Manually emailed instructions to knit a traditional baby bodysuit set comprising a button-up bodysuit, matching cardigan, beanie hat and socks for reborn dolls and real babies.

This versatile baby bodysuit and cardigan knitting pattern includes five sizes from approximately 2.5lb premature babies through to 0–3 months, making it suitable for tiny premature babies, newborns, larger babies and reborn dolls.

  • Socks updated with a modified heel
  • Bodysuit rewritten into five sizes for a more tailored fit
  • Smaller sizes now knitted in 4-ply yarn for a lighter, less bulky finish
  • Every row fully written out for easy step-by-step knitting

This pattern is especially popular for charity knitting, hospital donations, memory boxes, reborn doll collections and thoughtful baby gifts.
