I loved this sweater as soon as i seen it and couldnt wait to start it. I think it took me a couple of evenings to do. It was so easy to do. I just have to wait till there's some little girl to give it to. Here's the pattern site.

I love working patterns down from the neck, no setting sleeves no estra sewinf and if I'm carful with my finishing it will look like there are no seams at all waaahooo I LOVE IT

 

[Knitnutty]

On the pattern it doesn't say what age this sweater is for. Can you tell me what size you think this sweater would fit.
Thanks

Size depends on the type of yarn and needles you use. Pattern calls for 4-ply worsted weight and sz 10 (if I remember correctly) needles to fit 3- 6 months.

I've made dozens using baby yarns and size 8 needles that end up fitting 0-3 months. Baby yarn and even smaller needles can easily get you to a newborn or even preemie size.

Note: You can totally eliminate seams if you use double-pointed or circular needles for the sleeves.

I have a blue and white afghan started and plenty of like yarn, I am going to make the whole set, by adding the sweater,booties and hat with that pattern

 

[Homeshppr]

Sheila, the whole set will make a beautiful gift for some lucky baby. Enjoy the knitting. I think you're going to LOVE the result.

This is darling, and I started it as soon as I saw it yesterday. I do have a question, though. I am not a crochet-er, and I am not sure how to "slip stitch the sleeve closed". Can any one give me any pointers, or steer me to a video that will show this?

Thanks for your help! Cathy

Thank you so very much for this tip... I was wondering as I was reading what sizes to use for newborn size.

I am enjoying the Beautiful Baby Cardigan pattern. More than 1/2 done now. In sunset shades of muted golds and yellows.

I HAVE to get a scanner. I enjoy so much the pictures you send. Carolyn

 

[MaryE.]

carolyn, I use my scanner a lot too. Be sure you get a flat-bed scanner and not a sheet-feed.

 

[debs120254]

Beautiful! Thanks for the pattern. I am going to give it a try.

 

[carolyn tolo]

Mary,

Thank you for the info. Too many choices. But I have learned so much. This is the next step. Carolyn

 

[sheila72]

I have another decreative cardigan knit from the neck down, it is super easy if there are NO distractions, You can't watch tv, or talk till you have the pattern learned, once you do, is is swell, I got it from a friend in Florida in 03, she had a small book, and she copied if for me, T pattern has had a lot of wear and tear, I will check to see if I can find the addy so you all can share the fun too

 

[carolyn tolo]

I am looking forward to Sheila's top-down sweater pattern.

On another forum, there is a free pattern for a blanket (afghan?) knit in stockinette,---a map of the USA.

Lions Brand Pattern # 80046 very colorful. Look and see.

oh, girl you have one big job, LOL, I only work on things I can enter in our county fair, and they have to be suitable for gifts after the fair.
AND sometimes I get requests, Like the crocheted sweater, I make most of those with out a pattern, the sweater is made with Cherry Red Luster Shyne. I have a large flower in the shoulder area, then there will be a plain front, with smaller flowers all along the edge,,I am about 1/2 done, just waiting for a fitting so I can continue. I made one for her before, it was to small, so this one has an easy way to add inches, I like it I hope she does.
I brougggght it to church, but she wasn't there, others saw it and they couldn't see where I had squared it after the round flower, so I had to square it on a pew, they they could see there were corner worked into the pattern to make it fit as a sweater.
