Baby Hopi (digital pattern)

Baby-Hopi Sizes 1-3 (3-6) 6-9 (12) months

Baby-Hopi Gauge
10 cm plain stockinette stitch needle 3 mm = 28 stitches
10 cm colorwork needle 3.5 mm = 28 stitches

Most people knit tighter in colorwork than they do in plain stockinette stitch. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting colorwork. Gauge varies from person to person, and always knit a swatch before you begin.

Yarn
Below I have made an overview of which yarns you can use to knit Baby-Hopi. If you have a very small baby, I recommend a merino yarn, but if you have a baby who has started exploring outdoors, you can advantageously choose a yarn that can withstand a bit more wear and tear, such as Lamull from Rauma or Tynn Peer Gynt (you can easily knit the neck in merino wool so it doesn't itch). If you are knitting Hopi baby for summer use, you can advantageously choose a cotton yarn.
