Bonny Baby Ballet Wrap Cardigan by Loraine Birchall

The cardigan is worked bottom-up in one piece to the armholes, then fronts and back are worked separately. Shoulders are joined with a three needle bind off/cast off. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked down to the cuffs in the round. The border for fronts and back is worked last. Buttons are added for both fronts to fasten inside and out for the wrapover element.  No seams to irritate delicate baby skin and just a few ends to weave in once the knitting is done.

You’ll need 6 buttons, 3 for the front and 3 for inside, or use snap fasteners on the inside.

Special launch price until 31st August 2020.
