Childrens sweater in size 2/3 y old

 
 
 
This is a plane, basic easy children's sweater in size 2/3 y old but I think it may be 3/4 y old.
Its knitted in 4 pieces( front ,back, arms) and sewn together and its alpaca yarn.
One is the Viking Eco alpaca yarn and the other I believe its fairytale but you can use any similar yarns.
 
I used size 7mm needles on this and I made the back slightly longer than the front.
Now I m just so curious to know if the recipient likes it..............
So Aleisha ; I worked hard on your sweater so I hope you like it and that your mummy will wash it accordingly to my instructions which is HAND WASH.
Sorry about that, will knit an easy washable one later :)

Socks and more socks ; size 38 female and size 1/2 y old and 2/4 y old.....

Here is the first pair of socks I v knitted for  myself ; They are knitted with one thread of "step 6" and drops baby alpakka silk".
I cast on 52 stitches but note to myself on the next pair i can go down about 8 stitches atleast knitting with that combo of yarn.
They do however look pretty nice if I can say so myself.







These are a pair of childrens socks, well no its not yet a pair...........
Its one of each of what are suposed to be two pairs of childrens socks in size 1 - 2 y old and 2-4 y old but I started and finished one sock (the biggest one) but in the mean time I got some new yarn I was so keen to try that I started on the smaller sized sock so I could test it out so thats why I have one of each but as I m typing I have already started on the 2nd sock to 1-2 y old sized sock they will get theire matching partner soon.

I placed my knitting needles "around" the sock so you could see the size in proportion too.

The 1-2 y old  socks is knitted in Katia merino 100% [ 100% merino superwash in grey , colour 505 ]
mixed with Katia Darling  pure merino wool superwash [60% virgin wool and 40% polyamid , colour 206 ]






The 2-4 y old sized socks is knitted in Step 6 in blue ish colours and some different blue and turqouise thin alpaca wool in the striped on the rib.
