Such a wonderful wardrobe you have made for your new little one. They are all so cute and beautifully done. The sweater is gorgeous. Your daughter is lucky to have someone that sews such cute clothes.

Well, one can't make much with those limited skills.

Actually, those skills are about all that is in that sweater. Its very easy... "The 5 Hour Baby Sweater" (if you knit fast!) There are some increases to make the yoke round, but that is just knitting into the front and back of the stitch. And there are decreases at the sleeve cuffs, but those are just knitting two sts together. There are some great video tutes online for the "self taught" knitter. I am self taught too. Learned waaaaayyy before the internet, by following diagrams in magazines. When I was a teenager all the Family Circle and Women's Day magazines had knitting instruction and patterns. Now they only have sex, diets and food.

Try these video tutes. If you don't like them, there are plenty more available online by different teachers.

I enjoyed the lovely outfits you made...oh so cute. Congrats on your bundle of love on the way!

I would like to know the name of the pattern for the sweet knit sweater, if you used one please. I have knitted a few blankets and hats. I am not a Grandma yet, but I would love to try to knit a baby sweater. Thank you for the photos.
