Abigail Cardi and Hat 4ply Knitting Pattern

Baby Cakes 4ply knitting pattern from lisafdesign.

Abigail is a textured crew neck cardigan with set in sleeves and lace edged cuff and hem bands.  A matching moss stitch hat completes the outfit and is finished off with a delicate flower. Construction is knitted flat in pieces and sewn together using mattress stitch.

Four sizes for ages:  newborn-3 (3-6, 6-9, 9-12) months

Materials for cardigan, hat and flower:
Yarn: 3 (4, 4, 4) balls of 4ply Merino Wool (based on 225 metres per 50 gram ball) or approx. total of 675 (900, 900, 900) metres of equivalent 4ply wool yarn
Needles: 2.75mm and 3.25mm straight knitting needles
Notions: stitch holder and 5-6 buttons

Gauge: 28 sts and 36 rows to 10cm square over stocking stitch knitted on 3.25mm needles. Correct tension is Essential. Be sure to check your tension matches this pattern's stated gauge to ensure it will fit and you have the correct amount of yarn.  If your swatch has less stitches to the 10cm, your tension is too loose so use smaller needles.  If your swatch has more stitches to the 10cm, your tension is too firm so use larger needles.
