ENYA Baby Cardigan Jacket

Hope you love this new design as much as I do :)

I think the lacy border is really pretty - and adds a touch of style to an otherwise straightforward pattern design.

  2. That little jacket is fabulous! Love the lace work on the edge, it
    really gives it a delicate look. Thanks for sharing the pattern. Can't wait
    for an opportunity to have a go at it.
    Cheers, Anita.

  6. Question: the row before the yoke starts- am I pearling the cast off stitches too? The number of stitches doesn't match the previous row and it's confusing...help?

  11. Is there a gauge for this pattern?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm having trouble with the lace edge. Only 4 repeats in and it doesn't look like the photo. Should my gauge be tighter? I was trying to knit fairly loosely.

    ReplyDelete
  13. On the lace is the first slip one as if to knit, or purlwise? Yarn in bad, or in front? Thank you

  14. Really enjoying this so far. I've finished the lace ending but can't seem to work out the 85 stitches! Can anyone help?

    1. Do one in each space twice and then in the end of the row. Then repeat to the end of the lace and keep count as you go.

  15. I am also having a problem with the row at the yoke. The count is not coming out right.

  16. This is my first time picking up pointy sticks for 4 years, my 6th is due in 3 months and my neighbour is due at the same time, so I am knitting our little girls one or two each of these and hooking blankets for them. Such an easy to read pattern, thank you very much!
