What you need to know

Baby will look adorable in Camilla Miller’s cute checked cardigan with a button front.

Combine cosy garter stitch stripes with a playful slip stitch check pattern to add both colour and texture to your baby’s wardrobe. This knitted baby garment is designed with a simple, straight body, so there’s no shaping to worry about, giving you more time to focus on creating the intricate stitch details. The classic collar is worked separately and carefully stitched on for a neat finish, though you can easily pick up and knit the collar stitches directly if you prefer.
