2 Colour Border Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern PDF 29

PDF Two-Colour Border Baby Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Manually emailed PDF knitting pattern to knit a plain V-neck baby cardigan with a decorative two-colour slip-stitch border, suitable for reborn dolls and real babies.

This classic raglan-sleeve baby cardigan knitting pattern is written in 9 sizes and can be knitted in either 4-ply or double knitting (DK) yarn, depending on the size you wish to make. The finished cardigan is designed to fit 10–22 inch (25–55cm) reborn dolls and babies ranging from approximately 1lb premature through to 0–3 months.

Only the border is worked in two colours, making this an ideal project if you would like a simple introduction to contrast colourwork. Alternatively, the cardigan can be knitted entirely in a single solid colour for a more traditional look.

This unisex baby cardigan design is suitable for boys or girls and works well as an everyday cardigan, a special outfit, or a thoughtful handmade gift.
