I have been busy the last few days (makes a change, looking at this blog!), and knitted some baby sweaters. I love doing those because they are so quick and gratifying to do. I have been looking at patterns and was keen to try out the Baby Yoda sweater, a wrapped sweater which should be very simple to put on (no pulling over baby's head!)The pattern for this sweater can be found here. I made mine in a cotton yarn that I got very cheap from a grocery store. 300g for £3.99 or something. Since the Yoda sweater only took half that yarn, I decided to use the rest for a second sweater.
I made a version of Knitty's Daisy Baby with a few modifications as follows:- knitted the edge in garter stich rather than seed stitch
- omitted the button holes and instead added crocheted closers which I tried to give an 'oriental' (or military) feel
I think it's super cute! (Click the detail image to see the full sized picture)Now for the question of who to gift these items to.....

Beautiful sweater, my wife and I are expecting our second child, and it is always nice to look for cool cloth for the baby.
