This is an ideal pattern for confident beginners who wish to start making garments.

The cardigan is in one size to prevent the pattern becoming to complex for beginners, and has no sewing up only sewing ends.

The matching blanket is just the right size for baby and also would make a great lap blanket for cosy nights in front of the TV. It is easily adapted for size.

Both items are worked with the treble stitch (UK) but with the added crossed treble pattern to add a bit of fun.

The pattern works up quickly. In no time at all you can crochet a beautiful matching set ideal to gift a new Mum.
