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
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my little cardi jacket Dorothy. Thank you.
DeleteSo 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
DeleteI just love this! Thank you for sharing the pattern. You have such a lovely blog. I'll be following! ~Terri
ReplyDeleteSo sweet in both colors! I want to try these baby jackets with round increases, so thank you for sharing the instructions :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat size needles do I use and home much yarn is required. Thanks for your help. just love the jacket.
ReplyDelete4 1/2 mm needles Darlene. And I used less than a 100g ball
DeleteCould 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
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie
DeleteThis 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
Such a sweet little sweater. Am anxious to try it! Thanks so much for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the very last line of the main part when reading pattern and I don't know how to go about it, could you explain please?
ReplyDeleteWhat 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?
ReplyDeleteCould 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??
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteHelp has anyone else had problems with this pattern. Ist row dos,nt work out i seem to have stiches left. 2nd row is fine. So wanted to do this pattern. Please help.
ReplyDeletePlease can i get a reply to my comment reg help with 1st row of pattern. I so want to knit this jacket. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHope 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...:)
DeletePosted 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?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I missed it.
Thank you
Pat

ReplyDeleteI have tried this pattern and completed my first baby jacket. Thank you so much for the pattern Marianna.
ReplyDeleteI am knitting this with 14 sts=3" for a newborn. Will this be the right size?
ReplyDeleteWould love to knit this 4ply, has anyone got a pattern?

ReplyDeletesuper easy, beautiful design, the pattern is so easy to follow.
ReplyDeletei will keep the site as my reference for all patterns, wish to have more size varaiaties
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.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to knit this in a larger size 9-12 mths, I wouldn't be confident enough to guess it myself any help anybody please
ReplyDeleteHi, 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
ReplyDeleteHello, 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
ReplyDeleteThanks 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
ReplyDeletecould the instructions be a little more print friendly, a lot of ink is wasted printing the picture of the sweater several times. thanks
ReplyDeleteI also would love to have this in a larager size. As another poster said, babies outgrow 0-3 month clothes very quickly.
