This very easy to knit machine knitted hooded sweater has striped raglan sleeves, and will fit babies from birth to around 12 months. I used Baby Bramwell 4ply for the smaller size in pale blue and white, and Bramwell Fine 4ply for the larger size in navy and red, though any suitable 4ply yarn can be used. The smaller size is modelled here by my grandson Charlie, who was 11 weeks old and weighed around 12lbs. Suitable for standard gauge knitting machines with a ribber.

Machine knitting pattern for a basic V-neck cardigan for newborns. Knitted in any 4 ply yarn, this cardigan will fit from birth to about three months (Baby's weight up to about 12lbs). Suitable for all standard gauge knitting machines with a ribber. Materials: Approximately 80g of any suitable 4ply or fingering weight yarn. You will also need four buttons.

This is an easy to knit full needle rib (FNR) cardigan with set-in sleeves. It has classic styling, and a relaxed, easy fit. No fiddly buttonholes either, I have shown a very easy way to do these. This cardigan could easily be knitted in a couple of afternoons. There are two lengths to choose from; hip length or a longer tunic length to wear over leggings etc. To fit sizes 30 - 48 inches (garment measures 34 - 52 inches)

For standard gauge punchcard & electronic machines with a garter carriage. Illusion patterns are also known as "Shadow Knitting". The picture really doesn't do the pattern justice. The finished pattern is very effective, and depending on the angle you look at it, the pattern will disappear and reappear. The effect is very similar to the hologram you see at the bottom of a credit card. It's easier and quicker to knit than most illusion sweaters, as the illusion pattern is in a central panel only. One size to fit 36 - 42 inches (garment measures 46 inches)

For punchcard and electronic standard gauge machines. This garment can be knitted in simple stocking stitch, or with the garter carriage. Using the garter carriage will give the garment texture, which when steam pressed will catch the light and give extra interest to the fabric. Instructions are given for shaping the neckline on the machine. This method is used when knitting in stocking stitch. For garter carriage knitting, a cut & sew neck version is shown, complete with a printed template for the neckline, and full instructions. No ribber is required as the bands are knitted in stocking stitch. To fit sizes 30 - 44 inches (garment measures 34 - 48 inches).This pattern is suitable for any level of expertise from beginner to advanced, and can be knitted on any Brother, Knitmaster or Toyota standard gauge knitting machine, with or without a ribber.

Instructions for ribbed or fairisle welts & cuffs. To fit sizes 30 - 52 inches (garment measures 34 - 56 inches)

This is a pattern for a basic sideways knitted jacket with optional knitted-in pockets, in 4 generous sizes using any standard 4 ply yarn. Knitted almost in one piece, with a minimum amount of sewing up – only the shoulder seams, sleeve seams and pocket linings. Suitable for any standard gauge Brother, Knitmaster or Toyota knitting machine with or without a ribber. It can be made with many variations; fairisle borders at the top or bottom of sleeves, a fairisle panel down the centre of back and fronts, a lace panel or even small pintucks down the fronts. It has an unusual method for knitting and attaching the ribbed welts and cuffs, which gives a nice soft stretchy finish. Instructions for the variations are not included – this is the basic pattern only so you can add whatever patterning you choose. Sized to fit actual chest measurements 32 – 44 inches generously. This pattern would be suitable for a machine knitter with some experience.
