Instructions for a smart, Sunday Best looking cardigan which is knitted sideways. There is very little sewing up to do for this set which is always a bonus. Its just the sleeve seams on the cardigan, crown seam on the bonnet, and back and sole seams of the shoes that need sewing, and a few ends to darn in.

Its knitted mostly in garter stitch and features a lacy collar, with matching bonnet and shoes. There is a link to a you tube video on how to work short rows in garter stitch to help you along.

This pattern has been designed by myself so it is in UK terminology. It does not follow the usual ‘shop bought’ format. There are 5 printed pages with clear and easy to follow instructions. All my patterns are tested by independent knitters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error free.

Although my patterns are strictly protected by copyright, which I ask you to respect, I am more than happy for any items made from my patterns to be sold.
