Baby Sweaters

In the last couple of weeks, I've been knitting baby sweaters.  This first one is a  test knit a did for a knitter and the sweater worked out well.  There was operator error once in a while, but that worked out also.

I used a drops baby merino yarn on this one.  I knit loose and that is why I used a fingering yarn.  I always have to go smaller a couple sized of needles and using fine yarn really helps with that.  I accidentally knit it longer that it was supposed to be so this 6-9 month size fits this 1 yr old baby just fine.

This is a pattern that I bought from a designer that I've bought several from in the past.  She designs very nice baby items.

I used a knit picks sport cotton yarn on this sweater.

This sweater is a sideways knit, which looks quite attractive.  It is hard to figure out the correct chest measurement of it.  Next time I would add a few rows just to get it a little larger. Right now it is a snug fit.

Isn't Melanie cute in this?

I like the detail on this sweater also.
