This little jacket is just so sweet. I can't wait to have ago at this one. I'm loving the jackets that are made from the top down....less stitching up ends. lol. I love the pattern you have used. Thanks for
sharing.

I have just finished knitting your Famous Top down matinee jacket with long sleeves. It looks lovely but I had trouble sewing up the underarms. I think the stitches stretched while I was knitting the sleeves, leaving rather gaping holes which were difficult to deal with when sewing up. I'm looking forward to trying the Nevis cardigan but I wonder what you mean by "gather together underarms". I would be grateful for your feedback.
Unknown31 August 2016 at 14:16
hi all, I have made this cardigan for my grandson when he was first born, now he is 12mths im having trouble finding a simple cardigan to make him so I'm wondering by using larger needles would this knit up bigger to fit him now thanks in anticipation of any replies I may receive x
Unknown6 September 2016 at 04:37
same here Georgina, we have a new great grand daughter who 3 months old and is big for her age and wondered if I did the large size on larger needles if it would fit her....hopefully Marian can advise....Yvonne

Hi Marianna - Thank you for this lovely pattern! The Nevis cardigan is my go-to baby gift! Will you be updating the pattern with new larger sizes? I'd love to make one for a 12 month old. Please share how many stitches to cast on for that size and the length. Many thanks!

Marianna, I love your patterns. I have made many a version for my charity projects. The patterns are so clear and easy to follow, and the finished articles are sooooo gorgeous. As a prolific knitter, (I can't sit and not knit), these patterns are ideal.
Easy to knit and very quickly finished. I intensely dislike sewing up, so the jacket, booties and bonnet matching patterns with minimal sewing are ideal. Thank you for your phenomenal effort.
