Baby Sweaters

Last Year in January my little niece Morgan was born. I wasn't doing much blogging last year so I am finally posting about the little baby sweaters that I knit for her when she was born. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law decided not to find out the gender of their baby before she was born so I needed to find some gender neutral knits in gender neutral colors. I decided on these two:

Pattern: Antler by tincanknits

Yarn: Cascade 220 in Off White

Needles: Size US 6 and 8

This was such a fun and easy sweater to knit for a newborn baby. And it could definitely pass for either a boy or a girl. It comes in size ranges up to adult so I definitely have plans to knit it for my boys as well.

Pattern: Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker

Yarn: Cascade 220 Sport in Ginseng

Needles: Size US 6

I knit this little sweater for my twins when they were born and just loved it so much - I had to knit it again. I chose a pretty neutral colored yarn and then when I found out that the baby was a girl I added little pink buttons to make it more girly. The yarn was absolutely lovely. I had never used the Cascade 220 Sport before and it was very soft and it comes in amazing colors that the worsted weight doesn't come in. I hope my sister-in-law enjoyed dressing Morgan in these tiny sweaters.

They are beautiful. Isnt it nice to still be able to knit up baby sweaters once yours outgrow them.
