Nina Baby Jacket

    Very sweet little cardi - thanks for the pattern. Will be putting this on my to-do list. Most the the top down all-in-one cardi patterns I have only have short sleeves so this will be a great alternative. xox

      So easy to change short sleeves for long by working stocking stich to length required then doing a few rows of garter stitch usually 3 or 5 then cast off hope this helps

    Could you tell me what size this jacket is for. My granddaughter is 4 months she is 16 1/2 lbs. and 27 in. long. I don't want to make it is it will be to small. I would make the sleeves longer as you suggested but need to know if your pattern will be to small. Thanks

      Hello Debbie
      This little baby jacket is for a 0-3 month baby, so I think it will probably be too small for you to make for your granddaughter. Sorry
      Thank you for your question. I hadn't realized that I didn't say the size on the instructions, I will edit the post. Marianna

    What is the gauge? I don't see it mentioned anywhere. My tension can be all over the place so how would I know before knitting a good deal of this if it is going to come out the right size?

    Could this sweater be made in a larger size by increasing the number of stitches and number of rows??? Or am I way off an will be upset with myself??

    This jacket is absolutely adorable. I would love if you could add larger size options, 6 mos, 12 mos, 18 mos? Or something like that... like some patterns are. It is SO cute, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to adjust to larger sizes.

      Hope its ok for me to reply to Mary's question...I haven't knit this yet but reading he pattern it means to do the following...It says to pass the slip stitch over the k1 and the yo....never done that before but that is what it says... So you slip one stitch purl wise, k1, put yarn over the needle(to make a stitch) then pass your slip stitch over both the k1 and the yarn over needle( dropping it-not putting it back on the needle or you will have too many stitches)....do that twice then k3. Hope that helps you Mary and hope I am correct...:)
      Posted below then realised I could attach it here....hope you manage Mary. X

    Did you mention the yarn yardage or grams needed for this sweet pattern?
    Maybe I missed it.

    This is so precious. Do you have instructions for size 6-12 or 12-18 months? I find that babies 0-3 months get so little use when they are so small and would love to make this in a larger size for more wearing time. Thanks for sharing this beautiful pattern.

    Hi, just finished knitting sleeves and started main part but I have read though pattern and really confused where it says to knit 22 and then knit 24 for sleeve? Does that mean I have to add sleeve from stitch holder? Please can someone explain x

    ReplyDelete
  23. Unknown31 March 2016 at 02:55

    Hello, I've read this too and to me it sounds like you knit your 22 then knit on your stitches for the sleeve from the stitch holder and carry on to where the second sleeve should go, add them stitches from the stitch holder as well and knit to end, all stitches then are on one needle to start the yoke, I'm no expert but I would have a go at this

    Thanks for your help. I will give it a go when I get to that part of pattern. Will let you know how it goes x

    could the instructions be a little more print friendly, a lot of ink is wasted printing the picture of the sweater several times. thanks

    I also would love to have this in a larager size. As another poster said, babies outgrow 0-3 month clothes very quickly.
