It's lovely Marianna, I love he crop version so sweet, thank you for sharing the pattern. :) xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely site. I am a new Nanna to Charlie who is 5 months and can't wait for my other Son and Daughter in Laws little precious who is due May 23rd. Baby will be a surprise boy or girl. They opted not to know. I am a new knitter and just taught myself to crochet :) I've done a blanket, little hats and booties. This will be my first attempt at a cardigan!! Thank you such easy to follow pattern. I will keep in touch to let you know how I'm getting on. Hopefully be finished before the little bit is born. I knit slow but neat. Jane xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks so beautiful!! Is this the sort of cardi that will only fit a tiny newborn? looking to knit something up to 3mths!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the pattern the cardigan has a 16" chest. That is the standard size for a 0 to 3 month baby, so assuming your tension matches the pattern this will be fine for up to 3 months.
DeleteAs a guide cardigans for newborns ideally have a 14" chest, 0-3m have a 16" chest & 3-6m an 18" chest. Hope that helps HanSpam.
DeleteAs a guide cardigans for newborns ideally have a 14" chest, 0-3m have a 16" chest & 3-6m an 18" chest. Hope that helps HanSpam.
DeleteAccording to the pattern the cardigan has a 16" chest. That is the standard size for a 0 to 3 month baby, so assuming your tension matches the pattern this will be fine for up to 3 months.
DeleteThis is lovely...do u have the pattern for a one year or 18 month old?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving knitting this, but I can't get my head around which way the sleeves should be facing when you add them in the last row of the main part.....can some one help please?
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, you add them on a purl row which is wrong side x
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what dose knit across row mean
ReplyDeleteIt means you have to knit all the stitches in that particular row Riham Tawdors
DeleteThank you so very much for this adorable, beautiful and easy to knit pattern! I just finished mine and it looks just like the picture. It was so enjoyable to create. I only wish you had a larger than newborn size pattern. Our babies are pretty big when they're born. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSorry. It says s1 can anyone tell me what that means please?
ReplyDeleteSlip first stitch on row. Makes for a nicer edge
DeleteI've just finished making this - it's lovely! But can you do a 3-6 month size pattern too please!?
ReplyDeleteI just made this and wanted it bigger as well. I added some length to the sleeves, and to the bottom of the sweater. I also added 24 stitches to the width -- when you get to where you bind off for the sleeve insets -- 6 inches on each side for the front of the sweater, and 12 extra stitches across the back. It worked.
DeleteKnitted this lovely cardigan yesterday, I chose the cropped version as I was worried I'd run out of yarn but no problem. I shall certainly be knitting it again, thank you very much for sharing the pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with the last Row of the main part - after S1, k4, p15, when it says "purl across 25 sts from the first sleeve ..." does this mean slip the sleeve onto the needle and purl them? I know it should seem simple, but I'm having a hard time understanding. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can either do straight from spare needle or slip onto your needle as long as it purl side facing
Deletethere is no pattern for the finish of the sleeves with 25 sts left on a separate needle.... HELP!
ReplyDeleteLook at last row before work the yoke you work across 20 stitches of one front then 25 from ones sleeve 36 from back 25 for second sleeve then last 20 for second front. You then work up the yoke. Hope that helps
DeleteHi. After casting on 88 stitches for the main part, when it gets to 2 rows before starting the yoke, I can only see 86 stitches on the pattern. Where do I decrease these 2 stitches? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am having the same problem :(
ReplyDeleteHi, this is a beautiful pattern but I'm having issues with this line:
ReplyDeleteS1, knit 19sts, cast off 6sts, knit 35sts, cast off 6sts, k19sts.
I seem to have extra stitches. The total amount of stitches to cast on is 88 and yet the above line only has 86. Can you clarify please?
I stumbled rapt that too but it is correct when I sewed up the sleeves that part is the under arm seam then I did the sleeve, hope this helps, I just finished another sweater only a different pattern and it was the same way. But I finished both and they are cute
ReplyDeleteMarianna I have knitted lots of your patterns and especially love the little Hug Boots and the Charlie cardigan. I would like to knit the Charlie cardigan in a 6 month size do you have any instructions for doing so? Would be very grateful
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most enjoyable patterns I've ever followed. It's so intuitive, simple and yet produces such a gorgeous outcome! Thank you (about to start it in colour no.3)
ReplyDeleteI know this is a long shot as this question has been unanswered before but I've started the cardigan and am struggling!
ReplyDeleteIve got to thensure main part and am on the sl1 k19 cast off 6 k35 cast off 6 and knit 19 row. Having cast on 88 stitches originally the row accounts to only 86 stitches. I'm a new knitter so am probably missing something! Any advice greatlyrics appreciated!
I am doing the 0 to 3 month size and same problem. Extra stitches after casting off for the wormholes. No idea why
ReplyDeletemarianna thank you for the use of your baby patterns i love them. had a lovely letter from our local baby unit who are well pleased with my donations. i am on with my forth lot now and never get bored as you have lots to choose from
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely little pattern. It's just what I was looking for. My granddaughter is due to arrive in September, YAY!! .
ReplyDeleteThis will be perfect over a dress. YAY!! again. It turned out beautiful.
Thank you for the lovely, delightful pattern. It was such a quick and easy knit. The first of many baby jerseys I've knitted.
ReplyDeleteReally love it <3

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate you sharing these. I need to knit a newborn cardi quickly and this is perfect for winter.
ReplyDeletelove this pattern I knit for the prem babies so easy to sew together. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteJust finished this little cardigan and making matching hat. What a lovely pattern, thank you 😊
ReplyDeleteCan somebody explain how to cast off the 3 stitches at the end of the sleeves? I've tried a few ways but it doeant look right.
ReplyDeleteTo cast off 3sts at the end of a row ~
DeleteYou work across the row until you have 3sts on your left hand needle. Knit the first st, knit the second st, and pass the first over the second. Knit the last st and pass the second st over it. You will now have a loop - cut the yarn and pull it through the loop. Easy !
Would you consider making a 9-12 month sized pattern for the Charlie sweater? I love this pattern, but my expected first great grand child is due the first of July. However, he may need a size bigger by winter time in the northern US, than a 6 month size. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are still answering questions on this pattern but I am having the same problem as some of the other people in this column with 88 stitches cast on when working the main part but there are only 86 stitches mentioned when you come to shape for the sleeves??????? Please help
ReplyDeleteUsually were people go wrong is with this - when you cast off the 6sts for the armhole you will have one stitch on your right hand needle, which is not included in the instructions which follow as it has already been knitted. This happens twice on this row and accounts for your 2 'missing' stitches. M
DeleteThank you Marianna for the delightful pattern - have made one for my charity group and have another on the needles. It is one of the easiest patterns I have come across and I can't wait to try some of your other patterns.
