Designed by Robyne Conway of minimal knits | DESIGNED
This minimal knits | DESIGNED seamless baby cardigan is made top down, starting with a moss-stitch frilled collar and integrated button bands. We do some easy short rows to elevate the back of the neck and a subtle moss-stitch stripe row in line with the buttonholes and work the sleeves in the round. When the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends and sew on the buttons.
Written instructions are included for the short rows, as well as links to online tutorials!
Nov 2023, Errata: Sleeve instructions, round 1: stitch count should read "2(3,4,4,6) underarm sts at body divide" Pattern file has been updated to include this correction.
