Yarn kit for the Frankie Sweater Baby by Petiteknit.

This beautiful sweater is wonderfully soft and feels heavenly.

Especially suitable for sensitive baby skin!

You knit your Frankie Sweater seamlessly from the top down with Classic Cashmere by Cardiff. The beautiful stripes look fantastic and are fun to knit. The yarn feels incredibly soft—your baby will love the sweater!

The yarn kits contain the yarn required for the sweater in a main color and a stripe color. If you would like to knit colorful stripes, you can use leftovers or order additional colors.

Size Guide

The Frankie Sweater Baby should have approximately 10–12 cm of ease (positive ease) compared with the baby's chest circumference. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the cover page. Measure the baby before you begin knitting to determine the appropriate size. For example, if the baby has a chest circumference of 48 cm, you should choose size 6–9 months. A size 6–9 months sweater has a chest circumference of 60 cm, and in this example the ease (positive ease) is 12 cm.
