My first top down sweater! I love using my niece as a guinea pig! hehehe It's made out of Plymouth Encore yarn, which is quite soft and warm but my sister can still toss it in to the washer and dryer. A definite must!
I learned quite a bit with this project - doing a sweater with a yoke, picking up and knitting arm stitches, I learned I'm doing the M1 increase wrong... (knit in to the back, not the front of the new stitch if you don't want holes like mine, for instance!). :)
Pretty cute, right? I need to get it in the mail so I can get a picture of Alora in the sweater before she grows out of it and it's a doll sweater. lol
Very, very cute!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is beautiful! And if you hadn't mentioned anything, I would have seen the holes as a design feature, they look very pretty!
