Hello Baby Cardigan – Free Pattern!

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

I have the Hello Baby Cardigan pattern ready for you today. It’s the perfect gift for the new baby in your life. This is a tiny cardigan worked from the top-down with an attached I-cord edging with built in buttonholes. It is sized to fit newborn to three months.

Here is some information you might like to know:

 

Size: To fit newborn to 3 months

Measurements:

8 inches in length from shoulder to bottom edge

16½ inches chest circumference

Yarn:Spud & Chloë Sweater (55% superwash wool, 45% organic cotton; 160 yards/100 grams), 2 hanks in Igloo #7517 for the cardigan and 1 hank (or a small amount) in Toast #7506 for the edging

Needles: US size 7 needles, 24-inch circular and a set of 4 double-pointed needles or size to obtain gauge

*I also used a set of two US size 5 double-pointed needle for the applied I-cord edging. The smaller size needle for the applied I-cord gives a tighter effect but you could also use your larger dpns from the sleeves.

Gauge: 5 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch

 

I love the delicious little strawberry buttons I found stashed away in my daughter’s button collection. With her permission I stitched them onto the petite front edge. The juicy red really pops on the crisp white.

Have fun and keep me posted if you make a Hello Baby Cardigan for the little one in your life. You will surely be the hit of any baby shower if you show up with this as your gift!

    What great timing. Two grand-nephews were born this morning & first grand-son is due today! !! This looks good for “knitting while waiting”. Thank you for such a cute and simple design.

    More later,

    Adorable! Wish I had a baby to knit it for, but I’m putting this on my list of items to make for a baby shower or newborn gift. I love how you included your drawing of the cardigan at the end. Thanks for another cute pattern!

    For the first time ever I thought about future grandchildren instead of my own children. Wow — what a thought but maybe not so far away. I could start now…
