A jumper for a small child is lying flat on a dark green mohair shawl. The jumper has set-in sleeves and a collar (it also buttons at the back neck). It is mostly a sky blue, with a white stripe in the ribbing bands and in the collar - the collar is quite wonky. Across the body are 3 ballerinas - the middle one has a long ‘romantic’ tutu, white trimmed with yellow at the hem and neckline, she is en pointe in 5th position, arms at Demi second. To either side are ballerinas wearing classic tutus in yellow trimmed with white - legs are in passé (standing on one leg- on pointe - other foot at the knee of the standing leg, the bent knee out to the side …) arms - one out to the side, the other up over the head. All ballerinas have yellow pointe shoes and nice red hair - centre parted for the classic tutu wearers, side part with flowers for the ballerina with the romantic tutu. The ballerinas are on the back too - with a yellow tutu in the middle of 2 white romantic tutus … The ballerinas are worked in intarsia - with lots of duplicate stitch to smooth lines out - and embroidery for the details. I knitted this over 40 years ago - I used a vintage pattern for the shape but I charted the ballerinas myself. The blue yarn was 5ply and cheap …

#showmeyourknits - this week the theme is colour-work. Here is a jumper I made my daughter way back in 1984 when she was only 4yrs old and I was a relatively beginner knitter without the budget for good yarn or patterns. She loved it and wore it a lot! #knitsky #handknit #ballerina
