Off the needles
I finished this a couple weeks ago, a Petite Knits pattern with a round yoke. I used a hand dyed fingering weight yarn and a strand of mohair and silk. I had two skeins of pastel blue with yellow, white a pink and two skeins of slightly variegated light blue. The mostly blue I used for all the ribbing. The upper yoke is the pastel multi colored yarn the I alternated the two yarns for the rest of the sweater and sleeves because I knew I would run out of the multi colored yarn. I should have bought 3 skeins instead of 2. It’s soft and cozy.I knit this little sweater for a girlfriend’s granddaughter I bought the yarn in Ireland last summer. One big ball of fingering yarn is almost enough for a size 2 or 3 sweater hence the white ribbing. I paired this with a strand of mohair and silk. I will be like wearing a hug from grandma.
