What you need to know

Bundle up your baby in Susie Johns' colourful knit

Worked in seven striking shades, this pattern is ideally suited to novice knitters who are looking for a challenge. With handy press fasteners, rather than complex buttonholes or fancy bands, there is no need to shy away from this straightforward knit. Even the process of picking up stitches around the neckline is optional, as you can always defer to a blanket stitch or leave your edges unfinished.
