Ten when the dyeing was at a good purple color, I put an entire skein of Malabrigo worsted

Mina little star sweater

It first started here,  inspired when my little cousin Mina was born.
This little star sweater is ultra soft in pure merino lace yarn.
Pure joy on delicate little baby skin.
Light weight but very warm just over a onesie.



I enjoyed designing the little star sweater with little details 
like a shinning star and helbow patches,
it is also easy to put on with a shoulder opening.








Yarn, Malabrigo lace, color Pearl ten and natural
Pattern, my own, currently in testing
Size, 3 to 6 months


I picked the pearl color and the smaller size for the first sweater 
but they should soon come in 5 colors and 
4 sizes (3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months)
