sweaters for emmett and lily

on my last trip to idaho over thanksgiving week, i was able to give emmett and lily their christmas presents a little early. love these sweaters! they were both patterns that intimidated me a little, but i wanted the challenge and i'm glad i took the time to figure them out because i think they turned out so adorable. and i learned a lot with each of them as well.

pattern: from the book essential knits for kids by debbie bliss
yarn: mission falls, 1824 wool, 100% merino superwash
weight: aran
color: 017

the pattern called for a hood as well, but i unfortunately ran out of yarn. i still like it without the hood though.



pattern: from the book itty-bitty nursery by susan b. anderson
yarn: manos del uruguay, cotton stria, 100% pure peruvian cotton

weight: dk

colors: 211 flower, 214 flower center, 203 flower stem/buttons, 215 main

seriously, how adorable are these two little nuggets?
