Easy Happy Feet
3 size, 1 ball, these little sox are super easy and adorable. I combined a few techniques and made a mistake at the heel on my first pair trying the short heel technique. I found my mistake a way better result than the short heel. It works well on baby because their heel is not as defined as an adult. From experience, I thought babies needed socks until they try to stand up so I made the pattern for 1 month, 3 month and up to 6 month old. Size Fits baby from 1, 3 to 6 months


Marko argyle vest, 2 - 3 years old
I created this little argyle vest for my nephew, little Marko, about 18 months in the picture. He is a giant for his age so I made the sweater for size 2 to 3 year old so he can wear it more than 5 minutes :-) The vest is knitted bottom up, back then front. A chart is provided for the fair isle design. The wool/cotton blend is perfect for all seasons as little boys love light vest to play around. Size
Fits toddler from 2 to 3 years old

Knitted in the round from top, cable cuff first, then top of the foot and finally finishing with the sides and the sole. I tried to avoid seaming as often as possible, to provide more co
