There is nothing more meaningful than receiving a hand made gift, especially when it’s a gift for a new child. Having found myself with more than a handful of friends/ teachers/ co-workers/ past nannies having babies, I took the opportunity to create a collection of baby sweaters, textured baby suite.
From my perspective, knitting a baby sweater should be easy. It should take a lot less time than knitting an adult sweater. And it should let us try doing something that we would never try for the first time on a full sized garment.
With those considerations in mind, I designed five little sweaters based on a single design template and used different pattern stitches to create different effects. All are knit in DK yarn on size 6 needles — no size 2 or 3 for me – and I eliminated seams wherever practical.
Each little sweater has its own style and is fun and interesting to knit:
dot knots (pink) is a classic crew-neck pullover that uses dot knot stitch to add texture to a simple stockinette stitch fabric.
little eyes (blue) is a little button-collared pullover that uses eyelet rib to give a cable effect without actual cabling.
