Tellervo - Cabled Baby Hooded Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Baby hooded cardigan with cables at the front, around the hood and hem and cuffs.

Sizes from newborn to 24 months.

In the Finnish folklore Tellervo is the fair and playful daughter of Tapio, the king of the forest.

I designed this as my sister was having my first nephew, Liam. It’s made to be a cardigan of the love ones.

Construction
Cables at the hem and cuff are worked separately. The body and sleeves are worked with stitches picked up from the edge of the cables. Cables at the middle are worked simultaneously as the front.
Worked hem up, the cardigan is first knitted up to the armpits as one piece. Then the arm hole stitches are casted off and the work is continued in sections, first one being the right side of the chest, then the left side, leaving the back to be the last section. For the hood all the sections are gathered, and the stitches are used for the hood.

Chest: 40.5 [43, 45.5, 48, 50.5] cm / 16 [17, 18, 19, 20] 1-2 cm positive ease.
