Knitting Pattern: Premature Baby 10in Cardi Octopus Set
KNITTING PATTERN
This sweet little knitting pattern is for a tiny premature baby knit set, just 10 inch chest, using wonderfully soft 4ply (UK) knitting yarn. I created it because I wanted to make tiny baby clothes that were a more natural fit for premature babies. Since this cardi is for such a tiny little premature baby, the sleeves have been made specially to enable the baby to be dressed as easily as possible - it has wide sleeves which then close over with a button to the cuff. The back and fronts are knitted in one piece to minimise uncomfortable seams. The design features a little seahorse motif which is worked using duplicate stitch (swiss darned) after it is knitted. The cardi closes neatly with 3 small buttons to the front.
The hat is a simple beanie which features a garter stitch and stocking stitch border over a rib fabric and little fish motifs to match the seahorse. With this pattern comes instructions for a tiny pair of baby shoes which replicate the fish motif on the hat. Last but not least is the cheeky little octopus toy! It has been discovered that if a baby has to be kept in a NICU, the tentacles on the octopus act as a substitute for the umbilical cord and therefore offers comfort to the baby.
This design uses baby 4 ply (UK) yarn which is really soft to the skin as well as machine washable. 2.75mm and 3mm knitting needles are required. It is knitted flat using 2 needles and is written using English terms.
Size: Cardi - size: 10 inch, actual size 12 inch
This design is lovey knitted in the proposed colourway but would be equally sweet in a single colour. It would make a lovely set to donate to your local NICU unit.
Note: My patterns cannot be copied in any format without my permission but I am very happy for people to knit up items to sell. A message on a tag crediting me as the designer would be appreciated, thank you.
