This week, several of my facebook group asked me for more patterns for baby items using 4ply yarn........


I replied to them with the advice that any of my patterns written for DK would also work well in 4ply (though of course the finished garment would be smaller).


So here is how it works out ......... if you follow a DK pattern for a 6 - 9 months baby, and use 4ply yarn and 3.25mm needles instead - the finished item will be perfect for a 0 -3 months baby.


I put it to the test just to be sure!!


This little baby jacket was knitted in 4ply on 3.25mm needles following the instructions for the 6 - 9 months size ~ and it is a perfect fit for a 0 - 3 months baby.

  4. Thank you for this pattern. It is very pretty and easy to follow. There is one small error in the 6-9 month size.row 33- After the buttonhole it should read K22, (and not K22, K26). Easy to figure out but a beginner knitter may be confused. Thanks.

  6. Thank you very much for a lovely pattern What is yo ? Is it yarn over needle Please clarify I am confused

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Lalitha. Yes, yo = yarn over
      You may know this as yon (yarn over needle) or yrn (yarn round needle).
      Basically you are making an extra stitch to balance out the k2tog or p2tog.
      Hope this makes sense to you! Happy knitting. M

  10. I love this pattern, i've just completed the jacket and hat for my baby due in 7 weeks and now working on the blanket.
    The pattern was easy for me to follow and while i'm not a complete beginner i have always had trouble following them to the end. But this was amazing, thanks for all the hard work you put into these.

  14. after a few false starts I am well on the way with this lovely baby jacket. will send a photo when finished. I am using baby yarn from the discount store B & M in the UK its lovely and soft. Just waiting for the grandbaby now.

  15. Hello Marianna, I just accidentally found your lovely pattern for which I am so grateful but I do have a question... rows 7-39 should have the same number of stitches for both fronts. for some reason one of the fronts have one stitch less.

    What I am missing? unless we should always slip the first stitch that you did not add. Please confirm

    ReplyDelete

    1. I am wondering this too.. argh i've already started knitting it.

      Delete
  16. What is the reason for the S1, I'm assuming it means to slip the stitch without knitting it. This is on the button/button hole border and also on the sleeves. I used double pointed needles on the sleeves because I hate sewing parts together. Made a cute baby sweater in a few hours. A glossary for abbreviations would have been nice. Now onto the hat.
