Spring Knitting


As I type, the snow is falling again fast and furiously. Hard to believe it's March 23. So hard not to complain. Can't remember when we saw the sun the last time. I know it all could be worse, but it could be better too!

I just revised my cute cute peplum baby sweater pattern. It's perfect for spring and summer. Here are the specs: MACHINE 4.5 mm standard gauge, no patterning needed. Ribber or garter carriage for ribbed edges. Beginner level.
FINISHED SIZES Sample is a size 2 T. Pattern gives size 6 months (1 T, 2 T)
YARN Mary Lou’s Symphony or yarn to achieve same gauge.
OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED Stabilizer for embroidery if done by machine. See note below. 4 buttons 2/5” size.
GAUGE At T7 ~ 7 st x 10 r = 1 inch
I really love this sweater and if you have an embroidery machine, you can make some cute additions to it. OR, if you're even medium skillful at hand embroidery, that works too.

You can purchase the pattern for $8 through PayPal (below). Just wish I had a little one to model it!
