Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Gather Materials: You will need King Cole Cottonsoft Baby Crush DK yarn (or your chosen yarn), 3.25mm and 4.0mm knitting needles, a needle for weaving in ends, and stitch markers.
- Choose a Design & Size: Select the desired cardigan style (Easy Lace, Raglan Sleeve, Round Neck, or V Neck) and the appropriate size based on the baby's chest measurement (36 - 56 cm / 14 - 22 inches).
- Check Tension: If using a yarn other than the recommended one, knit a tension square to ensure it matches the pattern's requirements.
Compatibility
The pattern is compatible with any DK weight yarn. However, it's essential to check the tension before beginning your project.
Care
Follow the care instructions provided on your chosen yarn label. Generally, hand washing and laying flat to dry is recommended for baby garments to maintain their shape and softness.
