★ The Design Wars winner, all cabled up

This cabled jacket was the winner of a Design Wars Challenge! It’s worked in a textured linen stitch with cables, and it comes with an insert so it can be worn over your baby in an approved carrier.

This one is for confident crocheters. If you’ve never done shaping and cables, it will be above your skill level. Please note: based on feedback, this pattern will be getting a makeover and released again at a later date.
