This is a small cardigan and hat for newborn to about 8 month size. It is all cotton and very soft, as well as colorful! It combines soft tangerine with pale green and lilac stripes, with the tangerine the dominant color. It buttons up the front with five flat buttons that match the purply lilac, and it has raglan sleeves with the stripes lining up across the yoke. The hat has wide bands of tangerine with two sets of stripes in the green and lilac, and a pompom of all the colors. Measurements: about 7" across shoulders; 8.5" across at underarms; 4.5" sleeve length from underarm; 9" length from center back neck to bottom; hat 6.5" around bottom band; about 6" length from tassel to band.

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!
