Baby Cakes – Carolyn Cardigan
$10.50
A vintage matinee jacket in both 3ply and 4ply
The Carolyn Cardi pattern was my mothers pattern she knitted for all her grandchildren and great nieces and nephews, the original pattern developed over time and was written down on a well used scrap of paper.
We have deciphered the notes and made this beautiful pattern and named it the Carolyn (Carol) Cardi after Mum.
Constructed from the bottom up with a delicate lace yoke, this cardi is sure to become a cherished piece for generations to come.
