BLAKE is a smart set of Hat and Cardigan in DK/8 ply yarn.   This is an 8 row repeat rhombus pattern which can be carried on up to the neck if preferred to give it a different look.  It can also be used in the hat which Elaine, one of our admin did when she was testing sizes. It comes in 4 sizes, 16″ to 22″ chest!!

The mittens and bootees come as a free download to suit all Aran designs which you can download by clicking here. It canbe adapted to DK.

I am reluctant to state ages for sizes and those suggested on pattern are for guidance only – as children get older, rule of thumb is to go by chest size.

To fit chest  ​ in 16 18 20 22

Description

“Blake” is a unisex DK set comprising of cardigan and hat.

My Irish roots have inspired my love of the cable style of knitting and I have introduced a modern twist to my creations.

Size Guide:  The pattern for a Hat and Cardigan has instructions to fit 16″, 18″, 20″ and 22″ chest.  Always measure the child prior to starting your project as all children are different.

Wool & yarn recommendation…

I often get asked which wool I use and who my yarn supplier is!  For this knit I have used Stylecraft Special DK which I selected for its softness, it is very gentle on a baby’s skin.  There are over 88 different shades available through LoveCrafts, who are my preferred yarn and wool supplier.  (Spend over £25 to get free P&P and sign up their newsletter for 15% off your first order!)… I would also recommend Paintbox DK for this pattern.
