When my children were babies, I received a beautiful knitted matinee cardigan as a gift from their great nan. Ever since then, I have wanted to make a crocheted replica. My eldest is now 12, so this pattern has been trying to get out of my head and onto paper for that long. I finally finished the pattern this week and I am very happy to share it with you.

The baby matinee cardigan is available in sizes newborn to 12 months and is made using double knit yarn. I used a 4mm crochet hook for the body and a 3.5mm crochet hook for the button band. The pattern is suitable for beginners and photo tutorials are provided for some stitches. American terminology is used throughout.

This pattern is now available in my Etsy shop, along with my other PDF crochet patterns and a few things I have handmade to sell. I would love for you to join us in my Facebook group to see more pictures, get feedback and ask any questions you may have.
