"Fluffy Cuffs" Picot Edge Sweater by Aileen Cahill

This classic top-down raglan sweater is designed to be ultra-flattering to all figures. Mix and match your colours to be as understated or as adventurous as you would like. The sleeve cuffs can be turned back to reveal more than just a flash of colour or you can leave them as-is and stay snug with the ultra soft angora next to your skin.

CC - Louisa Harding Kimono Angora Pure Deep Pink 04 - 1 ball.
Needles: 4mm circular (or size needed to get gauge) in a length that allows your stitches to meet comfortably at the tips.
4mm double pointed needles or, if using Magic Loop, a 4mm 100cm circular for sleeves.
Gauge: 5 stitches and 7 rows = 1"
Measurements: 33" (35", 37", 40", 42") at bust.
28" (30", 33", 36", 38") at waist.
Boat Race Gro Bag by Samantha Haughton

A truly adorable knit for new babies and toddlers up to 36 months. The yarn used, Cotton DK, is both hard wearing and machine washable and is available in a range of fun, bright colours. The Boat Race chart is worked on both the front and the reverse but the less experienced knitter could choose to work only one side or even just a portion of the chart e.g. one boat and a cloud.

Gro Bags are safe and practical as they won't get pulled up too far and they cannot be kicked off when out and about. This version features a button down side and bottom opening for easy changes!

Cat on a Brick Wall Sweater by Samantha Haughton

There are two versions of this pattern available. The first is sized up to 18 months and the second gives instructions for a jumper to fit children aged between 1 and 6. The Cat on a Brick Wall Sweater is a refreshing alternative to traditional baby wear. This is knit up in the easy care and deliciously soft Baby Cashmerino yarn, with a touch of Kid Silk Haze carried along in the cat motif. A fourth cat appears on the back of the sweater, just to carry through a touch of detail to the reverse.
