"Handsome Cables" Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Knitting Pattern When expecting my fifth baby, I decided to knit a "going home" outfit in blue, in case the baby was boy, and in pink, if it was a girl (I did not know what I was having). The idea was that once the baby is born, it will be dressed in the appropriate outfit, and the unused set would end up being a doll's outfit for other kids to play with. I love cables and I love lace, so the idea for "Handsome Cables" Baby Boy cardigan pattern was born. "Handsome Cables" Top Down Raglan Style Baby Boy Cardigan Free Knitting Pattern Following the seamless top-down raglan style cardigan rules (as I did not fancy sewing any seams - for a beginner it seems daunting), I knitted up this cute baby boy cardigan.

This way you will have at least partial cable pattern "squeezed" to fit into this space and it will look nicer than just knitting those stitches. For example: Row 1 - Front 1 Do the first and Third brackets, end with a kfb. Row 3 - Front 1 do first bracket, {Knit all stitches for First cable bracket bit} Purl 2, knit 3, End with a Kfb. Front 2 KFB, Knit 3, purl 2 and do last bracket. Row 4 - Front 1 knit 2 purl to marker. Front 2 purl to last two and knit those. Row 5 - Front 1 do first bracket, Purl 2, Knit 4, Kfb. Front 2 kfb, Knit 4, Purl 2, Do last bracket. Row 7 - Front 1 Do first bracket, purl 2, knit to last stitch, kfb. Front 2 work front 1 backwards. Row 9 - Front 1 Do first bracket, do up two second cable and kfb in last stitch of cable. Now have enough stitches to work the cables and the increases will be easy to add in the pattern now. Front 2 slip 2 st on cable needle, KFB then work stitches on cable needle, continue in pattern. SPECIAL NOTES FOR MARKERS SET UP: On first 22 rows, PM and IM will actually be in the same position (so you can use just IM) - KFB 1 st before and after marker. Once you reach 22st on Front 1 & 2, you can place a PM and you’d be K those extra st between PM and IM on RS, and P on WS, remembering to increase 1 st before and after IM by KFB on RS only till row 32. Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Pattern Continue in pattern - i.e. repeat 1-4 pattern till 32 rows as follows (rows in bracket - don't forget to add button holes): RS Row 1 pattern: 1, 5, (9), 13, 17, (21), 25, 29 WS Row 2 pattern: 2, 6, 10, 18, 22, 26, 30 RS Row 3 pattern: 3, 7, 11, 19, 23, 27, 31 Boys Button Rows: (9), (21), (33) i.e. every 12 rows (see “Single Button Row” instructions) on Rim 1 WS Row 4 pattern: 4, 8, 12, 20, 24, 28, 32 Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Pattern Main Body: Divide work for fronts & back and sleeves: Row 1 : Continue as per pattern to sleeve marker (DON’T forget the button hole), K2, CO 5st using cable cast on, slip Sleeve rest of stitches on spare yarn, continue pattern to next Sleeve marker, K2, CO 5st, slip Sleeve stitches on spare yarn, continue in pattern till end. Remove all IMs, Continue with Row 2-4 pattern. Repeat row 1-4 till back from collar measures 8’’ (about 8 repeats), or continue for longer if prefer longer style e.g. 10’’, but without any more IM, (keep PM and follow Rims & Front1/2 patterns). Row 1 & 3, knit between “pattern” markers Row 2 & 4, purl between “pattern” markers Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Pattern Bottom Rim: Switch to 3.25mm needles Repeat seed rib stitch for 9 rows as per collar pattern, starting on RS pattern: RS : Slip first stitch purlwise, *K1, P1* repeat till end WS: K all stitches BO on WS: K1, *K1, Slip second st over first st * repeat to end Single Row Button: If you need visual help on single row button technique, there are some great youtube videos, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY4vBzLo-Xs Step 1: Once you have reached to row in your knitting where you want to place the button (i.e .row 9 in this pattern, and then (21), (33) i.e. every 12 rows - depending how many buttons you want, I did 3), first do (Sl1 purlwise, K1, P1), then bring the working yarn forward and continue as follows: Step 2: Slip the next stitch from your main needle purl wise. Step 3: Bring the working yarn back. Step 4: Slip the next stitch from your main needle purl wise again. Step 5: Pass the second stitch on your working needle over the first stitch. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for as many stitches as is needed to fit your button (x2). Slip last st back on main needle Step 6: Turn your work over. Note: You may want to pull very tight on your working yarn before the next step and continue pulling tight for the first stitch. This will prevent or limit holes next to the buttonhole. Step 7: Using the cable cast on, add the same number of stitches as was bound off to your main needle + 1. (3st) Step 8: Turn your work over again. Step 9: Slip the next stitch from you main needle purl wise. Step 10: Pass the additional stitch from you cast on over the first stitch on your working needle. Step 11: Pass the first stitch on your working needle back to the main needle. Step 12: Work the next stitch in pattern and continue knitting as normal. Note: You may need to k2tog/ p2tog or through the back loop to tighten up any loose stitches. Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Pattern Sleeves: Transfer stitches from spare yarn, join in round, picking up & knitting into extra 10 st from under arm. Continue to knit in round till under arm measures 4”. Switch to 3.25mm and repeat seed rib pattern for 10 rows: Round 1 : *K1, P1*, repeat to end. Round 2 : P all st BO in purl pattern. Note: sleeves knitted in the round will not match exactly the gauge of main body, so either knit more loosely, switch to larger needles or knit flat and then sew the edges under arm. Knitted Baby Boy Cardigan Free Pattern Update: my baby ended up being a boy, and this blue cardigan, together with a Gnome hat and some knitted converse booties, was my favourite outfit for him for the first 6 months. And the beauty of this design is that if the cardigan is a bit too big, you just roll up the sleeves, and once it gets too small, the sleeves become 3/4 style, so I actually managed to get a year's worth wear out of it, which made all this knitting worth it!. My Baby Boy @ 2 weeks old in his handsome cables baby cardigan Happy in his baby cardigan @ 10 weeks And still loving it @ 6 months Why not try some matching baby boy booties to go with this baby cardigan ?
