Product Details
The Valley Yarns Maia Baby Cardigan uses a fun math trick to turn two matching garter stitch hexagons into a cardigan. The trick is that they aren’t really hexagons, but 3-dimensional shapes made of six right angles. Simple stripes wrap all the way around the outer edges of each hexagon to give clues to the astute observer about how it’s made. The 3-needle bind off used to join the pieces together, in the end, is sturdy but can be undone in order to be worked on again to keep the cardigan growing right along with the baby. Two buttoning straps are attached to either front to suit any gender. You'll want to make Maia Baby Blanket, the coordinating blanket to make this the perfect baby shower gift!
