Pattern Notes
The main body is worked top-down in both flat and circular knitting with a cir needle used to accommodate the curves of the raglan and body. Sleeves are worked in the round using the Magic Loop method. If you are not familiar with the technique, use DPNs to work the sleeves.
The hood is worked bottom-up in flat knitting using cir needles after unravelling provisional cast on.
Babies come in all sizes and shapes. The size according to the age is just a guide. Make sure to check the actual dimensions of the finished garment and compare with your baby and the baby’s clothes before you decide which size to knit.
The pattern uses UK crochet terms.
