Bailarina sweater

Inspiration

Knitting allows you to create garments in three dimensions. We can take advantage of this quality to create textures that give life and movement to our creations to wrap our little ones in their daily lives and also encourage their creativity. The skirt, bow, arms and legs of the ballerina come to life to become almost a doll embedded in her sweater.

Construction notes

The sweater starts at the back. It is knitted starting at the back of the neck and working down the entire backside. The stitches are picked up to knit the front from top-down. After shaping the neckline the ballerina pattern is worked top-down. The ballerina is the same size in all sizes, but it is centered so that it is well positioned in each size.
