Many of you have asked how to add a collar on to
my baby jacket patterns.
The
very talented Chris Hunter (a member of my facebook group) has done this many times,
and has been kind enough
to share her 'how to' instructions.
Here are her beautifully knitted Babbity Baby Jackets with a collar added. So sweet.

For top-down cardigans ~ including Babbity
With wrong side
facing, pick up and knit a stitch for each cast on stitch at the neck edge except
for the first 3sts and the last 3sts
Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4
Next Row: Knit
Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4
Repeat the last
2 rows 3 times more for large preemie size, 4 times more for newborn size, 5
times more for 3months size ……..
(You can easily
adjust here by working fewer rows for smaller sizes / or adding more rows for
bigger sizes)
Knit 4 rows
Cast
off loosely (you might like to use a stretchy cast off, or a larger needle)
For bottom-up cardigans ~
Instead of casting off all the stitches at the neck edge –
Cast off the first 3sts only, knit to end.
Next Row: Cast off 3sts, k3, purl to last 4sts, k4
Next Row: Knit
Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4
Repeat the last 2 rows 3 times more for large preemie size, 4 times more for newborn size, 5 times more for 3months size ……..
(You can easily adjust here by working fewer rows for smaller sizes / or adding more rows for bigger sizes)
Knit 4 rows
Cast off loosely (you might like to use a stretchy cast off, or a larger needle)
Thank you Chris Hunter -

appreciated by many knitters.
