Pink Cardigan, kimono booties and butterfly Material: Patons Silk Bamboo, colour 85420, quantity 4 2 buttons Needle size 3.75 mm, US 5, Can 9 Trim Size : newborn to 3 mo Method : Top down This is not a “pattern” as such, since I did not have a pattern but I will try and explain how I did the cardigan for the ladies who requested a pattern. Neck: Knitted in garter stitch, for 9 rows, with spaced out yarn overs in the 5th row Yoke: Knitted in stockinette stitch, with yarn overs spaced out every 7 stitches every 3rd row In all I had 4 rows with yarn overs All along Yoke and body of cardigan I had 5 stitches in garter stitch at the edges for the borders. I placed 2 button holes on the yoke, but it would probably be better with 3. At the end of the yoke, on the wrong side, I did one Knit row, then 1 Purl row, then 1 Knit row again In the last knit row, I did the increases for the ruffles. Basically, I tripled the number of stitches. The way I did it is by modifying the M1 stitch. So I knit 1 stitch and keep the stitch on the needle. Then I bring the yarn in front and do a yarn over, then in what is left of that same stitch, I do another knit stitch by inserting the needle in the front of the stitch again. On the next row, I purled I think then continued in stockinette stitch for the desired length I did the sleeves the normal way they are done for a top down cardigan The sections are separated by a Purl row on the right side, then *K 2 stitches together followed by a yarn over* repeat for the next row, then another Purl row then again stockinette stitch Then for the bottom of the sleeves and of the cardigans, I did several rows of garter stitch
