I'm still knitting baby garments. I saw the Marienlyst Sweater by Guri Pedersen on Instagram and immediately popped over to Ravelry to purchase the pattern.
I used Drops Merino Extra Fine in the Light Taupe colourway but in hindsight, I think a slightly finer yarn would have been better. It's beautifully soft though and has a beautiful drape to it now that it's been blocked. I didn't knit a swatch, it's knit up a little bigger than the 3-6 months size I chose but it doesn't matter, Jack will grow into it at some point.
I really enjoyed the pattern, I believe it's written in Norwegian and translated to English, but it was very straightforward to understand. This designer has some really lovely patterns, especially for babies.
I think this sweater will be perfect for the cold weather, especially when warm layers are needed. That time will come quicker than we expect, the nights are drawing in and the heating is on!
Another lovely baby knit, Jack is a very lucky boy to have all these hand knits, and yes, warm jumpers will be needs very soon and it's always better to knit baby items on the larger size so they can enjoy them longer
ReplyDeleteThat is very attractive. A baby in a jumper is just so snuggly.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Jo I hope we can see a photo of Jack wearing it at some point. I have to be very careful when making things for my grandkids because they aren't always appreciated. I haven't put my heating on yet but it won't be long, we are in for a temperature drop tomorrow! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely jumper for a tiny boy, I do love the colour, you are a very talented knitter.
ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely Jo and it will keep Jack warm and cosy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
What a lovely pattern Jo, perfect for a boy. It is not always easy to find patterns suitable for boys.
ReplyDeleteJack will be the smartest boy in the area with all these wonderful jumpers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling sweater! Jack will be so warm and cozy this winter! It's dark here by around 7pm and I'm not a fan.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is gorgeous, Jo. And it will be perfect now that the weather has turned much colder. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is perfect for Jack. I admire your knitting skills. Wishing you and your family a happy weekend Jo.
ReplyDeleteLovely neat knitting, will be super warm in this coming winter.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely it turned out. Little Jack should be warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks a lovely easy pattern and will be so cosy for Jack to wear as the weather gets colder. You did a great job making it, Jo.
ReplyDeleteI have always envied those who can knit lovely creations like this. A very pretty design.
