Hi Marianna I've just knitted your lovely pattern the Iona baby Cardigan Jacket 0-3 months. I would really love to knit this for my granddaughter but she is nearly 3 years old. I don't suppose you might create larger size patterns in this Iona style. Nevertheless thank you soo much for ALL your lovely Free knitting patterns. Many thanks. Best wishes. Yours gratefully Sabdra Pettigrew
