I’d purchased this yarn earlier in the year with the sole intent of making something to donate. Weighing in at 12 oz, the ball was HUGE! Enough to make a few sweaters, some hats, maybe a blanket or three… As an added bonus, the yarn was durable and washable (and cheap!).
Since the yarn was purchased from Stitches from the Heart, and SFTH is one of the charities affiliated with our guild, I decided to try making something for them first. I browsed their Web site and found this pattern seemed easy enough for even a duffer like me to finish.
It’s a neat little pattern - all knit up in a single piece, with minimal seaming under the arms and at the sides. A couple little buttons from my sewing stash, and voila! a cozy sweater for a newborn.
