Baby Cardigan & Hat

This is the latest cardigan and hat I have made for my beautiful grand-daughter. For the cardigan I used a free pattern from Ravelry; and for the hat I also used a free pattern from this lovely blog Stitch 'n' Ting and added a flower using a pattern from the clever and very generous Lucy at Attic24.  



I wanted to use a ditsy patterned bias binding around the neck and to cover the buttons and decided that this lovely dusky pink Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino would look good with it.






I have used machine washable wool in the past for baby knitting and have been very disappointed with how they fare in the washing machine.  I haven't used the Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino before, so time will tell!
