Description
👶 CROCHET BABY CARDIGAN PATTERNS — VOL 1 👶
Kangaroo · Koala · Platypus — cardigan and bonnet sets
Three matched Aussie baby sets to crochet — a button-up cardigan and a tie bonnet in each design, every set carrying its animals as FLAT TAPESTRY colourwork worked right into the fabric. The soft pink set has a band of cream kangaroos with deep rose outlines leaping across the chest, and three little roos on the bonnet. The powder blue set has a band of grey koala faces with cream inner ears, and three faces on the bonnet. The cream set has brown platypuses with black bills swimming across the chest — on the two fronts they face each other, bills to the centre — with a facing pair on the bonnet. Round necks, long sleeves and five pearl-look buttons finish every cardigan, exactly as photographed.
📄 WHAT YOU GET
A 106-page printable PDF with 3 complete cardigan-and-bonnet crochet patterns, each in 3 sizes: 0–3, 3–6 and 6–12 months. This is a digital download — no finished cardigan or bonnet is posted to you; you crochet them yourself, in your colours, at your table.
🧶 INSIDE THE PATTERNS
• Every row counted for every size — the stitch count is stated at the end of every single line (1,965 counted lines in all)
• Full tapestry charts for every chest band (back and both fronts) and every bonnet panel, in all 3 sizes for all 3 designs — and the written rows are generated from the same charts, so chart and words always agree
• A yarn totals table up front: grams, metres and yards per colour, per size, for the whole set, plus 50 g ball counts
• Gauge-true sizing: DK (8 ply) yarn with a 4.0 mm (US G-6) hook; tapestry/single crochet 18 sts × 20 rows = 10 cm and half double crochet 18 sts × 15 rows = 10 cm; finished chests 46.7 cm, 51.1 cm and 55.6 cm, bonnets to fit head circumferences 35.5 cm, 40.5 cm and 45.5 cm
• US terms with UK equivalents, plus technique notes on tapestry crochet, carrying colours, reading charts and mirror-image fronts
🛟 BABY SAFETY, BUILT IN
The animals are flat tapestry colourwork only — no raised sewn-on appliqué, no plastic safety eyes; every eye and nose is a crocheted stitch. Buttons: the patterns specify large flat 15 mm buttons sewn on firmly with thread passed through at least four times, a check before every wear, and supervision for babies in buttoned garments — plus full instructions for crocheted bobble buttons if you prefer no separate buttons at all. Bonnet ties are sewn firmly and kept short, and bonnets come off for sleep.
🇦🇺 A kangaroo from the paddock, a koala from the gum tree and a platypus from the creek — three true-blue Aussie faces you will not find in every nursery. From our Aussie family shop to your nursery: crochet a set for every baby shower on the calendar, and make the Australian animals the talking point of the gift table.
