Lost in a sea of yarn and needles. Lusting after handmade socks and all things lacy

 

Cables Baby

The next sweater will be a cable job. I decided to wing it. Using the same Dark Horse yarn, this sweater will be a deep red. The swatch samples are left over blue from the Baby Surprise jacket.
I wanted the sweater to fit up to 6 months size, and I hope this will be big enough. You have to allow for it going over his inner clothes. I planned on 22 inches around the chest.
The swatch for the front of the sweater, it is a cardi. I mean why not make it hard for your self Suzann :D

The back is a bit of photo shop magic. I wanted to see how this pattern would look as an all over pattern. I liked it a lot and cast on for the back.

I have to take a picture of the finished back in all its red glory :) I would like to put a hood on this one, maybe a cable around the edge of the hood. I would also like to finish it before the kid goes off to school :-)

Great Surprise jacket, lovin' the cables - yeah, just the right thing for a break from the SJ. The mom and dad are going to be so jazzed with the new baby clothes!

Glad to see new posts from you.

That cabled back is gorgeous. I like your ideas for the cabling around the hood. Baby will be decked!

Thanks ladies. I love knitting cables. And a baby sweater is small enough that you don't get bored with it.
