Perry Cardi & Hat Wild Earth Yarns Naturals 4ply The Perry Cardi and Hat is a charming baby knitting pattern designed for soft 4ply (fingering) weight yarn, shown here in natural, undyed shades. The cardigan features a simple, modern Fair Isle pattern that suggests small sheep shapes without being a literal sheep motif. Designed with a classic crew neckline and set-in sleeves, the cardigan offers a tidy, timeless fit. The coordinating hat features simple stripes that echo the colours of the cardigan for a beautifully balanced set. The hat pattern includes two construction options: worked flat on straight needles or in the round on double pointed needles.
