Soft, sweet, and made to be treasured — the Mika Petite Cardigan & Hat is a beautifully textured baby knitting pattern with the timeless charm of a handmade heirloom.
Designed for little ones from newborn through to 18 months, this coordinated set features a delicate all-over texture, garter stitch trim, and a neat buttoned front. The matching hat completes the look with the same stitch detail for a polished, heirloom-style finish. Knitted in New Zealand Merino 4ply, the fabric is soft, breathable, and wonderfully gentle against delicate baby skin — with the natural temperature-regulating qualities that make merino a perennial favourite for baby knits.
The cardigan fronts and back are worked together to the armholes, reducing side seams for a smoother, more comfortable finish. Button placement is flexible, with options for 1, 2, or 3 buttonholes to suit your style.
