Beth's cables is a seamless top-down raglan cardi

for baby girls, with beautifully combined cables along the
raglan sleeves and down the sides.
It is not difficult to knit but is challenging –
it requires some skills for the cables, but with patience and good
will also beginners will make a beautiful cardi to be proud of!

Beth's cables -2-
Beth's cable cardi comes in sizes from 3 months to 1 year but I suggest you rely on the chest measurement rather
than the age, and adapt the lenght of the sleeves and of the body according to your child's measures.
Beth's cable cardi has a garter band on the front with buttons. Buttonholes are on the left side of the cardi seen
from front (female standard buttonholes) so these are knitted at the end of the row since you are knitting from top
down.
