This new born baby cardigan is knitted flat all in one piece! Sewing things together always frustrates me – I can never seem to get them to sit how I want them to. This pattern only involves sewing together the seams of the arms! This has lots of advantages (other than lack of sewing!) – it means less pieces of keep track of, no messy seams, and means for stripes there isn’t the worry about lining them up when stitching together. And stripes are, of course,
great for stash busting!

I knitted this jersey with left over DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm needles. Of course you could make this with different sized yarn (worsted weight would be a good option) however this will change the size. Worsted weight would make a larger sized cardigan.

Using DK/light worsted weight wool and 4 mm needles the cardigan measures:

Under arm: 44 cm (17”)
Length (neck to bottom): 21 cm (8.5”)

Yarn: approximately 300 m (330 yards) in total for DK/light worsted weight wool
