The Very Hungry Caterpillar sweater
July 04, 2018Six-row stripes make up the body, and for a little visual interest, after the sleeve separation I made two-row stripes on the sleeves.
I make a lot of striped baby sweaters with my scraps. Take this link to my post that includes links to free patterns and many tips to get you started on knitting your own "free" baby sweaters!
If you live in the USA, have a safe and happy Independence Day!

I've recently added quite a lot of stash that I'm selling on Ravelry. The yarns are beautiful and the prices are great, but I'm not going to knit them because either they are not my color, or I've changed my mind on the project. Take a look and see if there's anything you can't live without!

I can count on you Kristen to put a smile on my face. I love pictures of your garden and think you have an eye when it comes to baby knitting. I can tell you have a lot of fun with both! I am a library docent and I love to read Eric Carle's books to the children. They are perfect stories for all types of crafts and I'm delighted to see the hungry caterpillar on a sweater!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember too many of Eric Carle's books, just this one and the bear book. I was really surprised when I did a search on his art to see all his other gorgeous books! We are just about ready to start taking Carter to our library's storytime, and we are lucky that they have one and two storytimes a day, but they always manage to fall when he is about to nap. I think he will love it once we can make it happen!
DeleteWhat a simple idea, but ramps up the cuteness of the sweater so much!
