How to Knit Embossed Vines pattern Baby Cardigan
If you're looking for a unique and adorable
baby cardigan pattern, the
embossed vines pattern is a great choice. This
pattern features a lovely
vine texture that is perfect for both boys and girls, and it's surprisingly easy to
knit.
Materials You'll Need:
- 4 balls of baby yarn (in the color of your choice)
- Size 6 knitting needles
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Buttons (optional)
Step 1: Gauge Swatch
Before you start
knitting, it's important to make a gauge swatch to ensure your
cardigan fits properly. Using your size 6 knitting needles, cast on 20 stitches and knit in stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl one row) for 4 inches. Measure the number of stitches per inch, and adjust your needle size if needed to get the correct gauge.
Step 2: Back Panel
Cast on 45 stitches and knit in
embossed vines model until the back panel measures 9 inches.
Step 3: Armhole Shaping
Bind off 3 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows. Knit in pattern until the armhole measures 5 inches. Bind off the remaining stitches.
Step 4: Front Panels
Cast on 25 stitches for each front panel. Knit in embossed
vines pattern until the front panels measure 7 inches.
Step 5: Neck Shaping
On the next row, knit 12 stitches for the first front panel, and then bind off the next 9 stitches for the neck shaping. Finish the row in pattern. On the next row, knit in pattern until the neck shaping, and then cast on 9 stitches to replace the ones that were bound off. Knit in pattern for the remaining stitches.
Step 6: Shoulder Shaping
At the armhole edge, bind off 3 stitches once. Then, decrease 1 stitch at the same edge every other row 2 more times. Bind off the remaining stitches.
Step 7: Finishing
Sew the shoulder seams together using a mattress stitch. Sew the side seams together using the same stitch. Weave in all ends with a yarn needle. If desired, add buttons to the front panels.
Conclusion
Knitting a
baby cardigan can be a rewarding and enjoyable project, and the embossed vines pattern is a great way to add a unique touch to your creation. With a little patience and attention to detail, you can create a beautiful and cozy
sweater for the special little one in your life.
