I haven’t been getting much time to knit lately (or blog consequently!) but I manged to finish this little sweater and get it sent off before my niece grows too much more!
When we visited recently I got to bring my booties and matching bonnet I made to go with the sweater, despite the sweater not being quite finished in time. Somehow I forgot to take a photo of the bonnet. It was the Feather & Fan Bonnet by Larissa Brown. It used the same yarn as the booties (Red Heart- Heart & Sole), with the base part where the ribbon goes through in the same yarn as the sweater, to tie them together.
The sweater is the Offset Wraplan by Sara Morris (raverly link). When we visited I had it nearly completed but then found my niece is quite the little grower, in the 90 percentile for length! Of course one of the great things about knitting is customizing, so I ripped back the sleeves and body edgings and worked them for the length of the next size up. The yarn is Knit Picks Shine Sport, which is really a nice soft cotton-blend.
It looks fantastic. My daughter’s growth chart was always like that as a baby and she is now 8 years old and wears clothes that would fit a 10 year old because she is so tall!
What a beautiful sweater– I love the color and the contrasting buttons!
Love it! The purple and lime absolutely pop. Great color combo :)
Love the purple!! Cute!
Hey Jen, I’ve been trying to respond back to the comment you left on my post (the yarn is fabulous, btw!) but my emails are being bounced right back with a message noting that you’re mailbox is full. I’ve never received a message like that before, and I thought you’d like to know!
So cute – going into my favorites. I have some shine in the stash and this is inspiring me to get something going with it. thanks for sharing – love your blog by the way
This little sweater is beautiful I love that colour for a baby
