Description
Baby's first Test outfit — a cream cabled cardigan with raglan sleeves and green-and-gold striped bands, plus a soft green cap to match.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• The full written pattern for the cardigan: Back, both Fronts and both Sleeves written separately for all four sizes with per-size stitch counts and checkpoints
• Cables everywhere they should be — down the back (x2), each front (x1) and each sleeve (x1), with the C6B chart and button bands picked up per size (4/4/5/5 buttons)
• The striped bands worked into the knitting: hem and cuffs in green 2×2 rib with a gold stripe (rows 1–3 Green, 4–5 Gold, 6–8 Green)
• The soft cap in all four sizes: ribbed brim, smooth gathered crown, no peak — every crown decrease row printed per size
• Abbreviations & how-to pages — the striped bands, buttonholes and C6B explained in plain English
• Yarn totals up front per size: cream 2/2/3/3 x 50g balls, green 1 ball (bands + cap), gold 1 ball — grams, metres and yards in the table
⚠️ SAFETY & CARE
• The guide's full baby-safety page: buttons sewn on firmly and checked before every wear, no cords or ties by design, and the cap is supervised daytime wear — never for sleeping
• DK yarn, gauge 20 sts x 28 rows = 10 cm on 4.5 mm needles (bands 4 mm)
• Care page included: gentle wash, dry flat, check button stitching as baby grows
