One more Baby Sweater

I just finished another baby sweater this morning. This time I chose a thicker yarn, Mochi, in a really nice variation on green colorway. I knit the sweater on US 8 needles, as I find the Mochi yarn a little too mushy for my taste. The end result is beautiful and will be so soft, and cushy for Mini SockPixie.

I designed the sweater to be seamless. It is knit from the bottom to the top. The sleeves were knit on DPTs and then knit onto the body of the cardi. I chose a raglan sleeve construction. The sweater is edged with seed stitch borders.

The ony thing I have left to do: pick buttons. I really have no idea what type to pick: blend or contrast. Buttons are so important. You'll tell me, "come on, it's just a sweater". I know, but I want it to be perfect for Mini SockPixie.

The Cerise Baby Sweater Pattern is Ready!

The Cerise Baby Sweater pattern in sizes preemie to 24 months is ready (Link to the pdf at the bottom of this post)!

I love that it is a touch retro with a little Japanese inspiration...I love that it looks like a cherry against the pure, blue sky...

I love that the yoke looks so bold, like the coat of a precious little emperor...

I love that Cerise is as simple as it looks... I love that it is worsted weight... I love that it knits up so fast...

I love that $3 will be donated to March of Dimes for every $5 pattern sold...

I love that together we can make a difference in a baby's life... Thank you...

Cerise Baby Sweater

You remember a few weeks ago I created a little preemie baby sweater. I have reworked Cerise since, and it is now ready to be published as a pattern which I will be offering for sale for $5 and will be donating  $3 for every pattern sold to March of Dimes an organization that helps babie start healthy lives.

Here are 2 little twin sweaters I knit for a friend who is expecting a boy and a girl in the fall. I love to test knit with a pupose.

Cerise knits up really fast using worsted weight yarns, one in a striping pattern, and the other a solid. The pattern will be offered in sizes from premie to 24 months. Easy garter stitch and thoughtless stockinette as well as no seaming will make this project a breeze no matter how close your deadline is! I have to warn you, though, these baby sweaters are addictive, I have already knit 6 of them, and am working on a 7th one using some handspun for the colorful yoke.

The pattern should become available tomorrow evening. Mr SockPixie will help me set things up so that you can download the pattern easily after purchase. I can hardly wait to show you the particular sweater I selected to be in the pattern's pictures. Same easy pattern but a completely different feel... Shall I say that I am crazy about it?

Sring Green Rhapsody Colorways

The Spring Green Rhapsody colorways are ready and uploaded.
It was a lot of fun to play with a unique color theme, and to create different moods of green, some bright, some warm, some muted, some vibrant...

I hope you will enjoy my vision of spring. Have a great Sunday!
