How to knit a Baby V-Neck Raglan Cardigan, step by step - Part 1

[@StellaAspe]

Beautiful pattern this was my very first cardigan and it was not EASY. I liked the tutorial but do not crochet so I had to have a friend help.

[@netti5415]

Just made this. Super, super easy pattern with VERY clear instructions. I started knitting at age 8 with my Grandma as my teacher. She taught me to knit the sleeves together - on the same needle. I still do that and it saves quite a bit of time and I'm always certain they will be exactly the same. Thank you so much for these lovely, lovely patterns.

[@sowoolly]

And thank you for your lovely comment! I started at 11 years of age, and never have stopped knitting. Keep safe!

[@tinam02]

Did you use two threads like the video and is it for a 0-3 months?

[@samanthaflaherty9905]

Hi im making this now I think iv messed up st the back. I ribbed 7 rows the stockinette stitched 28 rows. I know you you this a year ago but before I go further thought I'd ask

[@graceanncarter1803]

Thank you for this video! I have made two of these now and I have always been so intimidated by cardigans! I actually used larger needles and chunkier wool on my second and it came out big enough for an older child which is great!

Verynice

Hi, please share which size of needles you used to get a bigger size, I am looking to make it for a 12 month baby. Thanks!

Hi, I don’t remember any more… maybe 8 mm (I undo the swatches for the video)

You are the BEST teacher ever!!! I was successful in the first sweater you taught, after beginning this one I'm feeling positive I can do this one following you.. I'm so excited. Thank you Hugs

[@emms1282]

I have just found this video. Thank you for your generosity with your time etc to produce this utube video. I am relatively new to knitting but I decided to knit a child’s raglan sleeve cardigan. I had to ask help to explain the pattern. I didn’t know about purling into the back of a wrap round to avoid the hole. I wish I’d found your video before I started. I’ve finished the back and two sides and sleeves. There are holes where the ‘wrap rounds’ are because I didn’t know about purling into the back. There must be a whole secret set of knowledge that knitters understand and are not explained clearly in patterns. Now I know I will have to unravel it. I can’t give it to the child I intended to.

[@sowoolly]

Hello! I’m sorry to hear that, but don’t feel frustrated, it’s totally normal!Although for some people knitting is just another craft, it’s pretty broad and sophisticated 😉 You can’t imagine how much I’ve had to undo through the years… I started when I was 11 years of age, and I’m still learning! But it’s so beautiful, calming, rewarding, creative, that it’s worth it! Subscribe and enjoy 😊
