Baby Sweater for a Girl

Image
My first baby cardigan! Seamless construction, raglan sleeve with a small fair isle / jacquard installation with hearts motif. Made for a 10 month old girl. Information about the yarn Yarn: Knit Picks, Capra DK Color: Flamingo Fiber Content: 85% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere Weight: DK Weight Knitting Gauge: 22 sts x 29 rows = 4" on US 4 - 3.5 mm needles Crochet Gauge: 12-17 sc = 4” on 7-I hooks Yards: 123 Grams: 50 Care: Hand Wash/Dry Flat In my opinion it's a quite soft yarn, gentle enough for a baby sweater. It's getting fuzzy in prosess of knitting.

Knitting two socks on one circular needle

Did you know that you can knit 2 socks at the same time on the same circular knitting needle? This video shows how to do it. It's quite amazing! But there is no innovation regarding the hill gusset. The recommended cast on is pretty advanced, but I'm sticking to my faithful Italian cast on for my socks, which is imho ideal for creating flexible edge.
