This is perfect Marianna, I must try it out, thank you once again for a lovely pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute cardi! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
ReplyDeleteLove all your patterns, can't wait for the next one. Just going to start the Mitts, Hat and Bootees set.x
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Recommendations to adjust for a 6 month size?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great pattern! Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is great. So easy to follow and quick to knit.. Just wondering if you have it in age 6-12 months?
ReplyDeleteDid I dream it or did you create a pattern for this in 18 month size?

ReplyDeleteCute pattern and not hard at all - except it would be very helpful to have a stitch count on increase rows!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern But I wish the file could be downloaded. It would be easier to work with a pdf screen view.
ReplyDeleteCould you please give us the pattern for a 6mo-9mo version with long sleeves? Thanks so much. Love all your patterns!

ReplyDeleteThank you for shareing
ReplyDeleteThis pattern looks great for my year10 students to try, however the S1 at the beginning of the row looks messy when thèy do it. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteBring the yarn forward and slip the first stitch purlwise.
ReplyDeleteTake the yarn back and continue knitting normally.
At the end of each row, knit the last stitch through the back loop. :)
thank you for sharing such lovely patterns. I have made 2 cardi's already.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing such lovely patterns. I have made 2 cardi's already.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful pattern. My bub is 1 year. Can you please help me how to make this pattern bigger for a one year old. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I made it. It turns out so lovely
ReplyDeletePLEASE PLEASE can you help me to adapt this for an 18 month old......I am a very poor knitter but desperately want to knit something like this for my grandchild; Thanks
ReplyDeleteAwesome design of baby jacket you have. I really like this too much. Wholesale Clothing UK
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I was looking for. My friend just found out she is having a boy !!!! Do you happen to have a hat a bootie pattern to go with ?
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely cardigan but the numbers don't add up - a stitch count would really help. On row 7 we have instructions for 59 stitches but we have cast on 67. I made the cardigan but it came out too small (14 inches) and I had to make a gusset under the arms to ease putting on. Sorry to grump, when someone is kind enough to share, but it is frustrating to waste time trying to work out what was intended.
ReplyDeleteI hope you worked it out...notice your comment was written last Oct! But thought I'd write this anyway as I've just made it (twice!) and it's such a lovely shape, this might be helpful for other people...I wrote in the number of stitches on my pattern as I went. Instructions on row 7 do add up to 67...I think you might have missed the word NEXT on each increase stitch...your 59 + those 8 stitches on which you work the increases makes 67. At the end of row 7 you'll have 75 st; end of row 9 - 83 st; end of row 11 - 91 st; end of row 13 - 99 st; end of row 15 - 107 st; end of row 17 - 115 st; end of row 19 - 123 st;end of row 21 - 131 st; end of row 23 - 139 st; end of row 25 - 147.
DeleteDo you have any similar patterns for a bigger sizes, say a 12 month, 18 month or 2T. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this absolutely adorable pattern :')
ReplyDeleteCan the sleeves be made on double pointed needles?
how about upsizing this one...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMARIANNA, I made my first one of these little sweaters and just love it. Like so many others in the above comments I would love to have it available in larger sizes. Have you updated the sizes available? I haven't found them yet if you have. If you haven't, I would love to talk to you about sizing this pattern out further. Can you contact me in some way...I am on facebook and would likely catch a PM there if you message me. I am also on Ravelry and can be contacted there. I think grannyscraps on ravelry will reach me, too.
ReplyDeleteShould the first few rows be the garter stitch? Mine looks like the seed stitch or something?
ReplyDeleteHi Marianna. I haven't knit for 20 years and now that I'm a grandma 7 times over I figure its time I start knitting again. I'm trying to do the shortsleeved cardigan but am having trouble just starting it off. It's not looking like the garter stitch; I must be missing something. Mine comes out looking like seed stitch or something. Oh yea is S1 slip 1? Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look great, however the stitch count isn't correct. If you start out with 67 stitches and do row 7 of the 4 button version, after all the increases you have 67 stitches worked and 10 unworked. Were we supposed to start out with 57, which would give you 67 at the end of row 7 after 10 increases?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, wish it came in a bigger size.
ReplyDeleteFiona.
Hello, has anyone worked out how to make this cardigan bigger, I guess it would be an increase in casting in stitches and sleeve stitches ( sorry I'm a new to knitting and this is my first project). Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI was so pleased with the 1-button cardi in pale green, I've also made it in white...then I recommended it to a friend who also downloaded it and has made it (both daughters are expecting!) Just found the 4-button version on here and I now intend to make that in the 17" size...I'd love it in even bigger sizes if you get around to designing it!!!! Such a lovely shape. Many, many thanks - a super little pattern that I shall make again and again.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try this but there's no pdf, how can I download this please.
ReplyDeleteWow.. This rings are really lovely! Very simple and gorgeous! Please Visit:

ReplyDeleteHi mri I knitted without sleeves top down sweater. Very easy written easy to read. I am very happy I knitted for my granddaughter. But I am looking full sleeves but now my granddaughter is over one year old
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a size 3 to 6 months in this pattern. Does anyone have this and could send it to me.
ReplyDeleteHow can I print this pattern please.
ReplyDeleteBarb
Love this!
ReplyDeleteIs this adaptable for bigger sizes, say 12month?
ReplyDeleteMarianna, I really love your patterns. I'm a "former" knitter. Haven't done any knitting since my kids were babies - 40+ years ago. Now that I'm retired, I am planning to make sweaters and hats for a local charity. I also appreciate that there are spaces between each row of instructions so that these tired, old eyes don't have to strain. Thank you so much.
