Pattern: Vestee by Marjorie Brigham
Yarn: Crystal Palace Yarns Bunny Hop Print in “Blue Jeans” (3 skeins)
Made for: Baby Nate
Worked on: December 13, 2008-December 24, 2008
I finished it before Christmas, but between all the snow we’ve had and leaving town for a few days, I didn’t have a chance to deliver it until last night. Baby Nate is not a year old yet, but he’s pretty big so I knit the 12-month size. It fits him perfectly! I’m very pleased with the fit, since I don’t have much experience at all with babies and I was flying blind, having not seen him for a couple of months.
I think the yarn works well with the pattern. The texture still shows up, and the mottled look will hide stains better than a solid color would have.
There was a tiny bit of pooling, but nothing major. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Agreed – that’s the perfect yarn, with the perfect pattern and the perfect texture. I think it worked out really nicely.

Vestee looks fabulous! Can’t even see the pooling you’re talking about. And a perfect fit on a baby… that’s actually pretty hard to do, so great work.

Super cute. I’ll have to add it to my “to knit” list.

Such a handsome little sweater. And I bet it’ll be even handsomer when properly modeled…
