UKHKA 192 Knitting Pattern: Baby Cardigans, Blanket and Hat in Double Knitting

UKHKA 192 is an intermediate-level knitting pattern available as a downloadable PDF, offering four charming baby projects in one collection: a Round Neck Cardigan, a V Neck Cardigan, a Blanket, and a Hat. All four designs are worked in Double Knitting (DK) weight yarn, shown in the pattern in Mint, making this a beautifully coordinated set ideal for newborns and young babies. The pattern is published by UKHKA and is sized to suit a range of chest measurements from 36 cm to 56 cm (14 in to 22 in), covering multiple baby and infant sizes.

Round Neck Cardigan

The Round Neck Cardigan is a classic baby garment worked across five sizes to fit chest measurements of 36, 41, 46, 51, and 56 cm (14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 inches). The actual finished measurements range from 46 cm to 66 cm (18 in to 26 in), providing a comfortable, slightly generous fit. The full length of the cardigan measures approximately 20 cm to 34 cm (8 in to 13½ in) depending on size, with sleeve lengths ranging from 12 cm to 24 cm (4¾ in to 9½ in).

Techniques and Stitches

• Double Moss Stitch — the primary stitch pattern used throughout the body and sleeves, creating a beautifully textured, reversible fabric. This four-row repeat alternates knit and purl stitches in a shifting sequence to produce a dense, cushioned texture that is both decorative and practical for baby garments.
• 1x1 Rib — used for welts, cuffs, and neckbands, providing neat, stretchy edging. Worked over a two-row repeat of alternating knit and purl stitches.
• Increasing and decreasing — standard shaping techniques used to form armholes, sleeve caps, and neckline.
• Slip stitch — referenced in the abbreviations for neat edge finishing.
• Fastened with 5 buttons for the smallest size, scaling to 5 buttons across all sizes for the round neck version.

Materials

• DK 100g yarn — 1 ball for sizes 36–41 cm, 2 balls for sizes 46–56 cm
• 1 pair of 4mm (UK8 / US6) knitting needles — main needles for body fabric
• 1 pair of 3.25mm (UK10 / US3) knitting needles — for ribbed edgings
• 5 [5:6:6:6] buttons depending on size

V Neck Cardigan

The V Neck Cardigan is the second garment in this pattern collection, sharing the same size range and finished measurements as the Round Neck version. The V-shaped neckline gives this cardigan a slightly more tailored, classic look while remaining perfectly suited to babies and infants. It is worked in the same Double Moss Stitch body fabric with 1x1 Rib edgings, and the shaping of the V neckline requires careful decreasing on either side of the front opening.

Techniques and Stitches

• Double Moss Stitch — four-row textured pattern forming the main fabric
• 1x1 Rib — for cuffs, welts, and the V-neck border
• V-neck shaping — worked through decreasing stitches symmetrically on the left and right fronts
• Fastened with 3 buttons for size 36 cm, and 4 buttons for all larger sizes
