ReplyDeleteYou are very clever. These are lovely.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous and smart little baby jacket. Thanks again for
ReplyDeletealways sharing your wonderful patterns. Love them.
I can't wait to try this beautiful pattern, thank you xx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely I love all the names that you choose for your designs too. :) x
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern, but when you K3 how do you pass the first stitch over the 2nd and 3rd stitch, im a bit confused. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteYour patterns are so beautiful. They work out perfectly and are easy to follow. I have been able to knit a delightful set of clothes for a very special long awaited grandchild. I am so grateful to you for sharing these patterns. You are so kind. I thank you with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and would really like to find out how to make it into a childs size 8-10 sweater. I have tried a few of your patterns using larger needles and different yarn, but I cant get the right sizing...any hints?
ReplyDeleteHi Marianna, I have to say I love your patterns. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns, I have knitted so many for the cardigan pattern that starts at the neck down and I can't wait to start knitting this beauty
ReplyDeleteIs this newborn size? Is there a way to convert to a larger size? Love your sweaters!
ReplyDeleteHi how do you yrn the needle on a knit stitch?
ReplyDeleteHow do you cast off the three stitches at the end of the row? I've tried it but can't figure out how to do it without leaving a hole. I have to say, your patterns are gorgeous! Love them. I'm going to be a new grandma in two weeks. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou can't cast off at the end of a row, I did an extra row and cast off 3 stitches at the beginning of the next row.
DeleteIt's possible to cast off 3 at the end of the row. Knit along until 3 left.on left hand needle, knit 2, pass one over, knit one, pass one over, cut end and pull through final stitch, thats your 3 all cast off. 😊
DeleteI love your patterns.Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful jacket. Got to go out now, will start it soon as... Thank you for your wonderful patterns.
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern but I've found an inconsistency in one part.....in the main body it says:
ReplyDelete"Repeat the last 4 rows 7 times more
Next Row S1, knit 19sts, cast off 5sts, knit 35sts, cast off 5sts, k19sts"
Keeping in the mind the middle 35 stitches, it should read 36 stitches because the pattern continued thus:
"Continue using 4mm needles ~
Next Row: S1, k4, p15, purl across 25sts from the first sleeve, purl 36sts from the back, purl 25sts from the second sleeve, purl 15sts from left front, k5 (126sts)".
I hope this helps someone trying to figure out that one stitch discrepancy.
Yes!! Thank you for your help!
DeleteI love love love this pattern! So beautiful and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing! <3
ReplyDeletecan we print the pattern for our own use.
ReplyDeleteYes :) You CAN print out the pattern for your own personal use - but you must not copy the pattern instructions and share them with others or sell them. :)
DeleteThankyou Marianna for the wonderful patterns! I have made multiples for charity and especially for a woman who fosters tiny babies. Thought you'd like to know that your cardies are on many babies here in South Australia. Cheers Sue W

ReplyDeleteLove this pattern can u give pattern for larger sizes thank u
ReplyDeleteThanks am so grateful. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm just starting the pattern. I have a question on the sleeve already. You start with 25 stitches and increase 1 stitch on the 5, 13 and 21 row that's only 28 stitches. How did you get to 31? Thanks Jean
ReplyDeleteYou are increasing one stitch at EACH END of 5th, 13th and 21st rows
DeleteThank you so much! :)
ReplyDeleteCould you give me the pattern for the 3- 6 month size, I would appreciate it. Thank you
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me if I knit the sleeves off of the stitch holder or do I put them back on the needle first. Thank you in advance for your help.
