Here’s a couple of kids sweaters I knit using the magic ballmethod. It was a lot of fun watching how it came out. I probably will not use this pattern again because I HATE seaming!!! Anyway, they were knitted for the Knit for Kids project and I will use a different pattern next time. A seamless one is on the way I hope.
I altered this one a bit by knitting the bottom in the round and then putting one side on a lifeline while working the other side. Instead of using all garter stitch on the yoke and sleeves I did a garter stitch ridge.
I followed the pattern on this one pretty much, but used all garter stitch.
:cheering: How cool are those! I really like the blue one especially. No, the mauve/pink/gray one. No, the blue one. No. the mauve/pink/gray… They are both great!
I forgot to mention… yarns in the pink/mauve one are mostly Encore scraps and the blue one is Lion Brand Jiffy and Homespun… :doh: Gad I hate that stuff!!
I forgot to mention that it can require a lot of weaving in… :shock: But it is a good stash buster and it’s a worthwhile cause. I have some wool that I think I’ll make a sweater for Afghans for Afghans charity. I thought they only took blankets/afghans, but they also take hats, mittens, sweaters, etc. They must be wool or primarily wool though because they need the warmth.
They are both BEAUTIFUL! Love them! I know that each one will be treasured
