SOPHIE Baby Cardigan Jacket

SOPHIE Baby Cardigan Jacket

SOPHIE Baby Cardigan Jacket - knitted by Jennie Walls

Jennie Walls – a member of my facebook group - adapted one of my baby jacket patterns
by adding a different stitch pattern to the lower half.

I think it is so pretty – and I thought some of you might like to make it too.

Thank you very much Jennie for sharing – and for the name too – I love that you suggested calling it after your granddaughter 😊
