PDF Knitting Pattern 92 – Autumn Leafy Lace Cardigans

Manually emailed instructions to knit this round and v-neck cardigan pattern in the same stitch pattern as pattern numbers 24 and 88, so either the bonnets, beanie hat, bootees or shoes will match with this pattern, or you could just have the cardigan on its own. This is a customer-requested pattern and starts from premature size up to 6 months.   The buttonholes are worked on both sides of the border, so the cardigan can be made up in advance of knowing the baby’s gender, then when you do know, just sew up the unwanted buttonholes, and sew the buttons on over the top.

To knit this leaf patterned baby cardigan you need to be able to knit, purl, yarn forward, slip stitches, pass slipped stitches over, knit 2 stitches together and pick up stitches.
