Freya Baby Cardigan Jacket

 

Freya Baby Cardigan Jacket 

Knitted by Leslie Dick

This sweet little baby cardigan was knitted by Leslie Dick.

She combined two of my existing patterns, and wrote these instructions.

I love what she created - and I am sure you will too.

80 - 85g DK yarn

4mm needles

3 small buttons

Length:                             10½“  (26.5cm)

JACKET

Next Row:  Cast off 3sts, knit to last 3sts, cast off 3sts                     (24sts)

·                  TOP TIP   ~    To cast off 3sts at the end of a row ~

You work across the row until you have 3sts on your left hand needle. Knit the first stitch, knit the second stitch, and pass the first over the second. Knit the last stitch and pass the second stitch over it. You will now have a loop - cut the yarn and pull it through the loop. Easy ! 　

Leave these 24 stitches on a spare needle, or stitch holder
