"BunnyHop" Sweater


I made this version of the "BunnyHop" sweater using size 6 needles and Caron Simply Soft yarn. Not as quick as some of the previous sweaters we've done, but very attractive when finished.

Silly little hat


Photo quality is not the best, but here is a silly little hat I made with some leftover Simply Soft Embroidery Print and some green (from my stash) yarn .

Another Little Lamb


Here's another "Little Lamb" sweater. Again, I used size 8 needles. Instead of the slip stitch pattern, I knit rows 9, 11. 17 and 19 to create a ridge design. For the sleeves I added 4 stitches to each sleeve (2 on each side), using straight needles and decreased K2 tog, K1 across, ending with K2 tog for the cuffs. I used the crochet method to seam the sleeves. Many thanks to K4C members whose ideas I both used and was inspired by!

Little Lamb


Here is my "Little Lamb" sweater done in our most recent knitalong. I made this one on size 8 needles and used dpns on the sleeves (because of the pattern of the yarn I thought this would work best). I added 2 stitches to each sleeve to increase fullness (I meant to add 4, but spaced it out). I will be sending this one to Warm Hearts Warm Babies.
