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.

Sizes

2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) years old. As every little one is different you can be guided not only by the years, but also by the measurements of the bust width which is 34 (36, 39, 41, 44, 46, 49, 51) cm/ 13.5 (14.5, 15.5, 16.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 20.5)“.

Knitting pattern bailarina sweater will not leave indifferent the little ones of the house. Do you want to knit them a sweater with a ballerina that stands out in 3 dimensions?

Many children’s knitting designs are thought in what an adult would like to wear and we do not leave room for the little ones of the house to show their tastes, to be inspired by the clothes we knit for them.

The ballerina sweater is designed for the little ones to experiment, play and imagine. It is as if they were wearing a doll that will accompany them wherever they wear the sweater.

In the pattern you will find the instructions to make the sweater from size 2 years old to size 16 years old.

If you are a beginner and want to get out of your comfort zone and dare to make your first sweater this pattern is also for you, as there are many supporting videos that you can watch for the more challenging parts. Here are some videos you can already watch of these steps:
