What you need to know

Keep little ones both snug and stylish thanks to Bernat’s striped baby hoodie pattern.

Worked in separate pieces, the baby hoodie begins with neat K2, P2 ribbing at the hems and cuffs before moving into smooth stocking stitch on larger needles. The sleeves are shaped with simple increases, while the front opening and garter-stitch edges add a lovely finishing touch. The pièce de résistance is the cosy hood, picked up from the held stitches and worked in the same jaunty stripe pattern. With four baby sizes to choose from, this is a satisfying project for knitters who enjoy a little construction, a splash of colour and a seriously cute result. All the yarn and equipment you need to make this hoodie can be purchased from readicut.co.uk
