Maebry Top Down Cardigan designed by © OGE Knitwear Designs
Maebry Top Down Cardigan - P152 by OGE Knitwear Designs is a beautifully detailed baby and toddler cardigan knitting pattern featuring simple stockinette, garter stitch sleeves and a decorative daisy-stitch border.
Worked from the top down in one piece, Maebry is available in five sizes from 3 months through 2 years. The pattern is designed for DK-weight yarn and is rated for intermediate knitters.
Maebry begins at the neckline and is worked downward in one piece. After the garter-stitch neckband, the fronts and back are worked mainly in stockinette stitch, with garter-stitch borders running along the front edges.
This construction gives the cardigan a clean, classic appearance while avoiding the need to assemble separate front and back body pieces.
One of the prettiest details in the Maebry Cardigan is the decorative border worked in OGE Knitwear Designs' version of daisy stitch.
The textured border contrasts nicely with the smooth stockinette body and garter-stitch sections, giving the otherwise simple cardigan a distinctive handmade finish.
The pattern offers knitters a useful choice when making the sleeves. They can be worked flat, or they can be knitted in the round.
The sleeves themselves are worked in garter stitch, adding another layer of texture to the design.
The Maebry Top Down Cardigan includes five sizes: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 2 years.
This makes the same design useful for both small babies and toddlers. Check the designer's finished measurements in the purchased pattern before selecting the size you want to knit.
The original pattern was designed using Sublime Extra Fine Merino DK, with approximately 127 yards (116 m) per 50 g ball.
The original yarn requirements are approximately 3, 3, 4, 4 and 5 balls for the five sizes respectively.
The cardigan uses 3.75 mm (US 5) needles. If you choose to knit the sleeves in the round, you will also need suitable double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting small circumferences.
The specified gauge is 22 stitches and 31 rows or rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch on 3.75 mm needles.
Matching gauge is particularly important for a fitted baby or toddler garment, so make a swatch before beginning if you are substituting another DK-weight yarn.
