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!!
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.

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.
I loved knitting this pattern. Such a beautiful pattern to knit up. So easy and finish is gorgeous.
