This year a lighter weight version, Snug too, became available, adapted for worsted weight yarns like Drops Karisma or Cascade 220, in the same 4 sizes. This one is 17 sts to 10 cm / 4 inch.

There’s an ebook that contains both versions of the pattern

Snug is a simple baby and toddler cardigan, knit in squishy garter stitch. The pattern is designed in one piece, there’s just some seaming at the shoulders and neck.

The clever construction may seem fiddly to some, for others it offers an opportunity to learn some handy techniques, while being an entertaining knit for the more advanced.

Garter stitch knitted sideways makes for a very stretchy fabric, so it should fit for quite a while, as a jacket keeping the baby snug in it’s hood.

Vertical rows continue seamless into the arms and hood, making this a nice and simple looking garment.

As for the finishing, the only seams are at the shoulder and back of neck, done with a pretty invisible seaming. Diagram and links to techniques used are included in the pattern. Also a size diagram is available.

Note: this pattern is for the somewhat experienced knitter, it does require you to know or learn some techniques like provisional cast on, grafting. Links to how-to’s are provided in the pattern.

In the worsted version at ‘Materials’ it says ‘Size 5 mm (US 10) 50cm/20” circular needle’, this should be ‘Size 5 mm (US 8) 50cm/20” circular needle’. This is changed in later versions.
