Baby Cakes Bc117 Dahlia Cardi and Hat (8ply Baby)

This delightful lisaFdesign set brings together a textured cardigan and coordinating cabled hat that will keep little hands busy with an engaging variety of stitches. The design showcases an appealing mix of lace work, playful bobbles, intricate cables, and moss stitch detail throughout.

The cardigan features a classic crew neckline with set-in sleeves, creating a timeless silhouette that's both practical and charming. Knitted in 8ply merino, this project offers wonderful stitch definition to showcase each textural element.

The coordinating hat pattern offers flexibility with two construction methods—work it flat on straight needles or seamlessly in the round using double pointed needles, whichever suits your preference.
