Another cardigan to add to my prem baby collection. Fastening right the way down the front it’s unisex in style. The contrast trim finishes it off beautifully but can be done in matching yarn if preferred.

This will fit babies of 3lbs, 4lbs and 5lbs in weight. It’s design is modern yet classic and an easy knit in my favourite garter stitch. 

The cardi is knitted from the bottom of the back to the shoulders where the stitches are divided and each front is then knit separately down to the front hem. Stitches are picked up across the shoulder line for the sleeves and then knit downwards. The edging is picked up from stitches all around the front and neck before sewing the side and sleeve seams and adding the buttons to finish.

Add one of my premature baby hats to complete a lovely set.
