Product Description

I fell in love with the #218 Pendants Blanket, but alas, I'm no baby! But maybe I could convert it into an open cardigan . . . ?

So, I added a wide Garter stitch border with some extra shaping to get a nice shawl collar and ta-da! My beautiful baby blanket is saved from being stored away or lying dormant on a couch and is now a most-wearable and very stylin' knit cardigan.

The finished cardigan has a Japanese flair to it with architectural lines. Let's just pretend this end result was on purpose when I designed the baby blanket ;-)

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a PDF BUNDLE (2 pdfs) that includes the instructions for the #218 Pendants Blanket AND the #218H Hamachi Cardigan Addendum, which are the instructions on how to convert the baby blanket into a cardigan. IF you don't need the Cardigan instructions, then click here to purchase the BLANKET PATTERN ONLY.

On Ravelry, the #218H Hamachi Cardigan Addendum is sold as a separate pdf from the Blanket: Fave/Queue the Cardigan pattern on Ravelry.

  1. Looks complicated but it's not

    Posted by Linda Langley on 5th Jul 2016

    I am loving this knitting project and have chosen the cardigan. I'm only about half way through at this stage. Although the pattern is lengthy (24 rows), it's very easy to see where any mistake has been made or if you're about to make one.

    I am actually making it in Drops Paris Cotton because I live in a rather warm climate and am more likely to get more wear out of it than if it were made in a warmer yarn. It's a fun project and I'm impressed with the look of the pattern.
