Baby blue

Baby's patterned jumper

This weeks project was a pale blue  patterned jumper knitted from #Patons fab DK,  which is machine washable and can be tumble dry on a low heat, which is always good when you have a tiny baby.

This super cute jumper is for a 16" chest so that's an average new born to 3 months depending how big the baby is.

The jumper has a lovely moss stitch panel in the centre garter stitch panels each side ending with a double moss stitch on the outside edges.   The back is knitted in stocking stitch and has two buttons and the sleeves are also in stocking stitch.

As you can see it's a short jumper which I personally don't like on baby's I like a nice long jumper to cover their little backs to keep them warm so next time I'm going to add an extra inch or so to the body of the jumper.
