This is a baby cardigan and bonnet knit from a soft blend of 60% cotton 40% linen in a light tan color. The sweater has raglan sleeves and a ruffle at the neck, matching the ruffle on the bonnet. This closes with a moss stitch button band and four large pearly buttons. The bonnet is classic in design with the added ruffle around the face edge; it has white grosgrain ribbons attached to tie under the chin. Measurements: about 7.5" across shoulders; 8.5" across underarms; 5" sleeve length from underarm; just over 9" length from back neck to hem; bonnet around 13" around face edge; about 7" around neck edge.

Welcome to Knitting Grandma!
I have been knitting for at least 7 decades, and yes it's true: I have a grandson who really called me Knitting Grandma! I love to knit for babies and children, and most enjoy making up my own patterns, so my garments are one of a kind.
If "hand knit sweater" makes you think of itchy wool, things have changed! I will admit to being a yarn snob. Life is too short to use cheap yarn! In the past decades there's been lots of development of innovative fibers and blends, like bamboo-sourced yarn. I favor natural fibers; my favorites are alpaca, merino wool, silk, and their blends. I will always try to tell you the yarn used for each garment.
A word about sizes: all babies are different and believe it or not, sweater size charts charts are all different too. I have included measurements for my garments to end confusion. But you don't have to chase a wiggling toddler with your tape measure: just find a garment that fits with some growth room and measure that.
All these pieces are washable: wash with other garments and dry flat.
If you have an idea for something special, please contact me!
