Baby Cardigan, Knickers & Bootees that can be knitted in Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton 4ply, OR Sirdar Snuggly 4ply. Please be aware that these yarns knit to different tensions so you may need 3¼ mm needles for Sirdar Snuggly. Small amount of crochet around the legs of the knickers.
Very pretty long-sleeve raglan cardigan that looks great, whatever the occasion. Matching knickers go over nappies and the ability to thread ribbon through the crochet edging will enable colour coordination with that special dress or dresses. Knickers & bootees in first two sizes only.
