Last winter cardie for Louis
Think this will be the last Winter cardi for Louis. Two sizes larger than his previous one. Decided to go for the 6 to 12 months as he has just reached 6 months in age. Double knit yarn, so cardie on generous side. Hopefully will see him though the to warmer weather. Then I will really have to stop until next year This pattern is so easy and always turns out great. Garter stitch so easy to work with when picking up stitches for sleeves and for sewing up with mattress stitch. Left stitches for front and back on spare needles and did three needle cast off for shoulders. Leaving centre stitches for the border. Worked edging boarder, optional in plain cardie, but i think just finishes it off really well.

Beautiful little jacket jean you really have taken great care in ensuring little Louis has a full knitted wardrobe of increasing sizes when he needs a little extra layer 😍🥰

Thank you Maria :-) sorry only just seen your message by chance. I don't think all of my notifications are coming through. Yes full winter wardrobe, but summer on the way now, so will have to give it a break for a few months. Though looking forward to starting next years. :-) xx

Another lovely little cardigan Jean. 😊 I’ve stopped making knits for my grandsons in Sydney now as they rarely wear more than a T-shirt 🤷‍♀️

Yes I think this will be the last one for a while for Louis. Just hope he gets some wear before it gets too warm again. Although it doesn’t seem to have even got very cold there this year. I don’t think he really got to wear some of the early ones I made, although did go for go for 4ply , cotton, sleeveless etc. But was still too hot in the end and he just wore a little vest. ☹️

Lovely Jean. Louis must be the best dressed baby down under! Beautifully knitted and the different colour buttons really set it off.

Thank you Lynn 🥰. Yes certainly has an extensive knitted wardrobe now 😂 just hoping he gets the wear out of them. They tell me it is still warm in Perth. What ever they were great fun to knit 😊🧶x
