| Steppe Sweater Vest |
Pattern: The Steppe Sweater (free pattern)
Yarn: I Love This Wool (#125 Deep Purple) 93% wool - 7% polyamide
knit with double strands to simulate chunky weight yarn
Needles: US size 10.5 - ribbing

This yarn definitely lives up to its name because it has a nice feel and knits well. I will purchase it again.
Note to self: a child's vest, size Small requires 6.1 ounces of double-stranded yarn.
How pretty!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color. Some lucky kid will love this.
ReplyDeleteLove it Nancy! I need to make one too
ReplyDeleteI love the color too!! What a cute vest. And knitting on bigger needles is nice now and then. Projects probably fly off your needles!
ReplyDeleteGreat color! Looks like a fun pattern, too. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy in love with the color! Our DIL has her Christmas tree decorated all in purple and it is beautiful! The sweater pattern is a keeper. That will be a happy child.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great color and a cute vest. Will it be a Christmas gift?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that vest. The color is awesome and the simplicity of the pattern is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAwesome color! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the sweater pattern. I've saved it. I have some chunky yarn I haven't found a pattern I like so it's been sitting for, oh 10 years or more. The problem is it is rather rough feeling. Probably 100% wool. Bought at a Sheep and Wool festival in Maryland. maybe I'll try this pattern for some of it.
ReplyDeleteThat is just darling!! Maybe I'll eventually get inspired to do something other than baby blankets and hats?
ReplyDeleteLove it - wanted to do a matching Bloomsbury for my two granddaughters and their mom but need a pattern for the grandson. Thanks!!! Still have not knitted any socks but I'm working up to that!
