Baby's First Cardigan

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

13 stitches across and 28 rows down = 4 in. [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

BACK
Cast on 33 stitches.
Work in Garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until piece measures 10 in. [25.5 cm]. Bind off all stitches.

FRONTS (make 2)
Cast on 17 stitches.
Work in Garter stitch until piece measures 10 in. [25.5 cm].
Bind off all stitches.

SLEEVES (make 2)
Cast on 26 stitches.
Work in garter stitch until piece measures 5 in. [12.5 cm]. Bind off all stitches.

FINISHING
Matching fronts to back, sew each shoulder seam from armhole edge towards center for 2.5 in. [6.5 cm], leaving remaining edges open. Place pins 4 in. [10cm] down from shoulder on front and back. Center sleeve between pins and sew to body. Sew side seams and Sleeve seams. Weave in ends.
At neck edge, fold corner down 2 in. [5 cm] and tack in place. Repeat on the other side. Cut ribbon length in half. Sew one half to each side of sweater front neck.

Baby's First Cardigan Reviewed by Francesca on 2013-04-09 ****
I've only been knitting a couple of months so I am a total novice.

This was easy to knit. I found the finished project a touch big. I think if I did another, I would make the body a touch shorter. I think a button rather than ribbon would be better too.
