Here is the new baby sweater I designed and knit. I just finished it last night. I started with the idea of making a sweater with a cable around the body and wanting to do it in one piece with a yoke. I picked out this cable from one of the Harmony stitch guides. It turns out that a cable wants to curl some so I tired to remedy that a bit by adding a couple of rows of crochet at the bottom.
I decided to add some more bobbles to the yoke and did some multicolor corrugated ribbing at cuffs and neck. I tried not to go too far with embellishments. :ick: But I can always think of one more thing to do. :lol:
I didnāt have any buttons that would go, and just to find a Wal-Mart I have to travel 35 miles, much of anything else is 75 miles away. :figureditout: So I got the idea to add crocheted buttons to match the bobbles. I think it works.
The gray is really a bit darker and slightly heathered, the blue is a bit more teal and darker, the orange is very bright, but a little darker than it looks. Yarn is acrylic, Patons Astra, a sport weight yarn.
I think the hippie in me shows a little here. What do you think? The sweater is about a 6 month size.
Here is the back.
If anybody wants to see any details of how I attached the buttons or close ups of cable, or cuffs you can go here and look at more pictures.
Slim is rightā¦I see a 70ās child in there somewhereā¦if not chronologicallyā¦in spirit! That is greatā¦a real celebration burst Iāll buy a pattern if I can get it online!
This is one of the most beautiful and āhipā little sweaters Iāve ever seen. Looks like it was a doozy to do (but that is from someone who hasnāt learned much more than a stockingnette stitch thus far - LOL). Absolutely GORGEOUS design and the colors are way too cool! I want one for ME!
You are a true artist and this work of art is beautiful. Congratulations on completing this and thank you for sharing the pix of it with us.
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. :notworthy: I did have a lot of fun with this one. The creative process is so much fun. Thatās what WE ALL love about knitting!!
A couple have asked about the pattern and if I could share it. :shrug: Maybe. Iāve tried to write down what I was doing as I went, but trying to make it all make sense to others would be the challenge. I have very little experience writing out patterns. If I ever come up with something that I think would make sense to someone else how would I go about sharing it?
