Baby Textured Hooded Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Knit a practical textured hooded baby cardigan with matching bootees using this customer-requested knitting pattern.

This unisex design includes buttonholes on both sides of the front bands, allowing the cardigan to be knitted before the baby's gender is known. Once revealed, simply sew up the unwanted buttonholes and attach the buttons to the preferred side.

The textured stitch pattern creates an attractive finish whilst remaining simple enough for everyday knitting.

The pattern includes multiple baby and reborn doll sizes from premature through to 3–6 months and can be knitted in either 4ply or DK yarn depending on the size selected.

Perfect for baby gifts, reborn dolls, hospital knitting and everyday baby wear.
