Garments and Designs Included

Cardigan with Acorn Yoke

This delightful baby cardigan features a decorative acorn yoke, worked using stranded colorwork techniques to create the nature-inspired motif across the yoke.

Sizing covers 0–3, 3–6, 6–9, and 9–12 months, with finished chest measurements ranging from 50 cm to 59 cm (19¾ in to 23¼ in). Length to shoulder ranges from 24 cm to 30 cm (9½ in to 11¾ in), and sleeve length from 13 cm to 19 cm (5 in to 7½ in).
