Remember DinoSweater? Here is DinoSweater’s sister, ZebraSweater.

Zebra Teddy

ZebraSweater is my girly answer to DinoSweater, but is a black baby sweater a hard sell?

Don’t get me wrong; this sweater is clearly adorable. I mean, it’s a zebra baby sweater. Give me a break.

Ears!

And I have a problem with baby girl/baby boy-ing things, anyway. I would give a baby girl that DinoSweater and I would put a baby boy in the ZebraSweater. And I would put a baby in a mostly black sweater if it had adorable ears and a mane.

Shut Up Already

How completely ridiculous. A bear in a ZebraSweater. I can’t even handle it.

Striped Baby Sweater

The ZebraSweater came together because I’m working on the perfect baby cardigan pattern. I got a request for a ZebraSweater, so I’m killing two birds with one stone. Here is a top down reglan baby sweater with about 2 inches worth of seaming that came together in a weekend. Easy.

Next Up: Hood

Then I picked up stitches along the collar and knit up a hood; a super quick addition to a super quick knit.

Next Up: Pockets!

These silly pockets are just a fun detail. And who doesn’t like pockets on their sweaters?! Throw your keys and wallet in there and you don’t need to carry a purse around. It’s really for the baby on the go.

Then, my sweater got a little crazy. Ears and a mane will crazy-up anything. But the sweater pattern I’ve written, for sizes newborn, three, six, and nine months, with options for a hood and front pockets, is pretty solid I think! I’m planning baby classes in the spring semester, and this sweater will be part of the action.

Mane Adorable!

I’ve got another ZebraSweater to knit up as a custom order so I’ll have another chance to test my pattern. I love knitting baby sweaters! They knit up so quickly!
