How about a puffy sleeved shrug?

If she's a slight build you may get a "Sweet As" out of a skein. I think it's designed for double knit, so you'd want to go down a size when you knit it.

Do you have any contrast? I've done things like the "skirt" on this olearia with one skien

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Steppin ... /olearia-2

same with spring butterfly

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Steppin ... utterfly-5

or likewise you could do the skirt part of kaia babydoll

there are heaps of shrug options including In Plume

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Steppin ... lume-shrug

or Scapulae

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Steppin ... e-scapulae

and any left over can be used on hats like Mangere Bridge

Did you double strand the bodice of the Spring butterfly?> I want to do one for my daughter, but not sure how to do it with the purewool

Yes followed the pattern exactly but knitted a smaller size than what I wanted it to turn out. I think another TNNer has done a purewool one with only single strand bodice

Did you find the bodice was rather thick? Or was it not super thick. Oh I'm SO excited!!!! I know the pattern goes up to a five, so I'll buy it for the five and hope it will fit my 6yr old

No I think its fine, I didn't up the needle sizes much from what they would have been for 8ply so its a bit tighter than other wise would be, but seems "warm" rather than "super thick" IYKWIM

by **Nutbar** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:40 pm

Oh cool, thanks

Super excited now!

I did a Kaia babydoll in Purewool, it was a mash up of the Kaia pattern and the Paige babydoll pattern. You could do the same with the spring butterfly to get the right stitch count.

She is quite small, still wears size 1 in some stuff. The Sweet As pattern I found starts from size 3, the baby one is done in 4 ply. Would it be possible to knit the smallest size and have it come out ok in 10ply?
