a very sweet baby knit
Friday, August 15, 2025Lemon yellow. Probably my favorite yellow in all the world. It just screams happy, cheerful, full of life!
I mean lemon adds flavor! It adds a lovely appearance to any dish or drink. It just seems to be the perfect companion. If I were to be a food, I would definitely want to be a lemon! As I was searching for a toddler pattern, I found this on Etsy. Something classic. Perfect for a 2 year old!
I made the size 3-4 year hoping she will be able to wear it for a couple of years.
Knitting sleeves two at a time in order to keep them even was very helpful. A little bit of yarn management but well worth it!
The yarn was in my stash from a knit crate I received years ago. I had two skeins. 584 yards in total. Not enough for an adult sweater but perfect for a childs sweater. Or so I thought! I ended up playing a bit of yarn chicken however, was able to finish with a few yards to spare!
Choosing buttons is always something I like to do. And made even more fun with the challenge of using what I have.The yarn was in my stash from a knit crate I received years ago.

I ended up narrowing it down to a few and asking advice on Instagram. Mismatched flowers won the vote! And added so much LIFE to this sweater!
The sweater is blocked. The name tag and buttons are sewn in place. I can't wait to wrap and gift this!
