ReplyDeleteIs there a 1 to 2-year-old pattern of the cable version of the cardigan?
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm going to knit 9-12 months pattern as gift for a baby (now he's 3 months years old), and I'd like to make the cable version for the next Autumn, using 3,5 mm needles. I printed the Max baby cardigan with eyelet raglan, but I'm not sure where I have to insert the cable on the front. Please, can you help me? Many thanks (sorry for my not good English!). P.S.: I'd be happy to make this gift, because the baby will come back to China in September
ReplyDeletePlease could I have the 6-9mths pattern for the max baby cardigan with cable front.
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern available for the cable version age 6 months?
