Hooded Baby Cardigan
Last August (wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long) a girlfriend of mine had twin baby boys.
To celebrate their birth, I knitted them each a tiny baby cardigan using this pattern.
I used Caron Simply Soft for these sweaters because of its softness and durability. Plus, I’d bought quite a lot of it for a crocheted project I’d planned but never completed (or even started). This yarn worked beautifully for these sweaters, and the colors were yummy.
Coincidentally, another friend of hers had knit baby blankets in almost the same colors.
For the tags in these sweaters, I bought fabric tape and alphabet stamps and stamped my initials in black fabric paint. Then I just sewed the tags in. I thought it was a nice touch for a gift though I don’t normally do it with stuff I knit for myself.
Hmm..well..the pattern calls for bulky yarn and simply soft isn’t bulky…so, I guess you must’ve increased your needle size..
thanks so much for your reply

Hi..I was wondering, did you use a double strand of Caron’s simply soft yarn when you knitted these?
It’s been so long, I don’t remember. But looking closely at the pictures, it doesn’t appear that I did.
It’s been forever since I responded to this post but I did find the pattern: http://web.archive.org/web/20080103235727/www.knitlist.com/2002/FransHood.htm. Print it out now because I’m not sure when this link will expire (it’s a web archive).
Is this pattern still available I would love to have it.
