Easy Baby Cardigan
For those who can read simplistic patterns, this Easy Baby Cardigan had me gobsmacked with its simplicity.
I'm careful not to say everything is easy. Some in this industry love to say everything is 'easy' as the lure to get you to do it. I like having an opinion of expressing my feelings about a pattern.
This pattern shocked me on simplicity. If you know how to make rectangular panels, you can definitely do this sweater. If you look at the sweater as sections. 2 Front Panels, 2 Sleeves Panels and 1 Back Panel. You've got yourself a baby cardigan. Once you get your rectangle panels done, you sew them together to form the sweater! Batta Bing... Batta Boom!
The stitches used are the exact same as my beginner's baby blanket. Using SC and Ch 1! Just follow the hook size, yarn recommendation and chain counts on the pattern. The tutorial is showing you how to do this stitch that it's asking for. Once you get started, you will realize how quick this is to make.

Hi Mikey,
I am so very glad I found your comments on this pattern (for the baby cardigan). There seems to be an error in the written pattern from Yarnspirations, so without your explanation, I would have been up a creek.
Yarnspirations has been notified twice by other customers back in April, but no changes have been made.
Thank you for all that you do for us. It is greatly appreciated.

You may not realize you can slow down the tutorial. There is options on the screen for YouTube to do that. I can show you where but if you use Slow Motion in our search engine, I have show you exactly where on YouTube you can slow down any tutorial or video on YouTube. It's impossible to get the right speed to accommodate everyone. To some I am too slow, others I am too fast.
