Cute little newborn cardigan, knit in one piece from the top down and requires no seaming.

Instructions given for fingering/4ply (and notes in pattern to convert to DK). To get a larger size simply use a heavier weight yarn. The smaller size in dk will make newborn, with the larger size making up to 3 months. Play around with it and have fun! Dm me if interested in other sizes.

The cardigan in the smallest size can be knit from one 50g ball of 4ply, but more than one ball may be required for the largest size or in DK.

Note that this pattern does not include the eyelet stitch used in the pink version, the cabled edge version, or the stitch in the green yoked version. These are shown to illustrate how you may customise to make your own design.
