Baby Lace Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Knit Baby's First Button-Up Cardigan

You want to give the new baby something you made yourself, not something off a store rack.This soft little cardigan is the gift parents tuck away and keep long after it's outgrown.

It's worked in one piece from the neck down, so there are no tiny pieces to sew together at the end. You see the whole cardigan take shape as you go, which makes it easy to stay on track.

Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Finished Size: 0-3 months to 9-12 months (chest 17 to 20 in / 43 to 51 cm)

• The eyelet border at the hem uses just two simple moves, or you can leave it out for a clean, classic look.
• The garter button band and buttonholes are worked as you go, with tidy I-cord edges on the hem and cuffs.
• Make one for a newborn now, or size up for a baby who hasn't arrived yet.

         "Knit it for my niece's arrival. No seams, and the little lace border made it feel special."
