Description
👶 CROCHET BABY CARDIGAN PATTERNS — VOL 2 👶
Koala Lace · Kangaroo Stripe · Echidna Bobble
Three Aussie baby cardigans to crochet, each carrying ONE animal on ONE front as FLAT TAPESTRY colourwork worked right into the fabric — no appliqué, nothing sewn on. The mint cardigan is V-stitch lace all over, with a solid chest panel carrying a full sitting koala: grey body, cream inner ears and belly, and a big charcoal nose. The lemon-and-cream cardigan works sunny half-double-crochet stripes, with a solid panel carrying one large tan kangaroo facing right, tail sweeping along the ground. The pink cardigan is squishy bobble stitch, with a solid panel carrying one aqua echidna facing left, cream snout and paws and charcoal spine tips scattered over its dome. Five flat wooden buttons finish every cardigan, exactly as photographed. (No bonnets in this volume — the three Vol 1 sets carry the bonnets.)
📄 WHAT YOU GET
An 85-page printable PDF with 3 complete baby cardigan crochet patterns, each in 3 sizes: 0–3, 3–6 and 6–12 months. This is a digital download — no finished cardigan is posted to you; you crochet it 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 (1,573 counted lines in all)
• Full tapestry charts for every motif 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 cardigan, plus 50 g ball counts
• Gauge-true sizing: DK (8 ply) yarn with a 4.0 mm (US G-6) hook; single crochet 18 sts × 20 rows = 10 cm, half double crochet 18 sts × 15 rows = 10 cm, V-stitch lace 18 sts × 9 rows = 10 cm; finished chests about 46.7 cm, 51.5 cm and 55.5 cm
• US terms with UK equivalents, plus technique notes on tapestry crochet, V-stitch lace shaping by whole repeats, counted stripe sequences and diamond-offset bobble rows
🛟 BABY SAFETY, BUILT IN
The animals are flat tapestry colourwork only — no raised sewn-on appliqué, no plastic safety eyes; every eye, nose and spine tip is a crocheted stitch. Buttons: the patterns specify large flat 15 mm wooden 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.
🇦🇺 A koala in the mint lace, a kangaroo in the sunshine stripes and an echidna in the pink bobbles — three true-blue Aussie faces you will not find in every nursery. From our Aussie family shop to your nursery: crochet one for every baby shower on the calendar, and make the Australian animals the talking point of the gift table.
