my design sweater idea is done!


here is the sweater itself, this is my design, the pattern stitches I call "sea shells". Now this is only my prototype, I hope to re-do the number of stitches in the body to make it a little fuller, also I again forgot buttonholes!!! so i will work those in as I re-write the pattern. For this I used Caron CuddleSoft 3 ply almost a fingering weight so I held 2 strands together. The yoke and sleeves are knitted with size 5's and the body sea shell section with a size 7. I did not use double pointed needles for the sleeves, I placed everything else on holders and knitted the sleeves using regular needles and then seamed them.

here is the matching hat.....

All of your baby items are just lovely. You inspire me to keep on knitting.

I love this little sweater and hat you designed and would like to knit it.
Would you ever consider sharing/selling the pattern?
