Kyrie's sweater


Body is crocheted. Arms are knitted. Kyrie is my neighbor across the street. He is always demanding that Ms. Nita makes him hats, sweaters, etc. So here it is. Kyrie's sweater made from 100% wool. I'll post the brand when I get home and can get to a label. This is my first attempt at a sweater. No pattern was used. I made the sleeves short so that he can wear it longer as he grows with a turtleneck under it.

*Shaker Yarn  2 Ply spun from Virgin Wool/Shaker Society New Gloucester, ME 04260

Projects


I made 3 Baby blankets from this fiber that my friend gave me. All of them were done in this granny square pattern using different striping.
