This one is worked up in ArtYarns Cashmere sock. The yarn is devine! So deliciously soft and snuggly. You can almost see the fuzzy halo of the yarn in the picture below. I also love the slight variegation on colour from baby pink through peach. Soo pretty.
The pattern is great too. It's a really easy knit, but with fancy results. There's very little finishing involved too, which in my books is always a winner. My favourite part is that I'm able to put some of my sock yarn stash to good use - this cardigan uses up about the same amount of yarn that it takes to make one pair of adult socks.
I modify the pattern slightly for the sock yarn. I use a needle that is 1-2 sizes larger than the sock yarn recommends. So for the cashmere sock they recommend a needle size 3, and I used a US 5. Also, the pattern calls that you cast on X stitches, knit for Y rows, then increase until you have Z stitches. Instead of casting on X stitches, I cast on Z number of stitches - the number of stitches that you would have after the first round of increases if you followed the pattern as written.
Do you have any go to patterns for babies?
I would like to make something for a baby boy and a 'TBD' baby.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend,
Sam

It's been a while since I made that sweater. Must add it back to my queue. Your version is just adorable!
Could that little cardi be any sweeter? Lovely!
Love the cardi, it's beautiful. I like your idea of casting on Z instead of X and doing the increases. It makes a lot more sense.
HI Dear! Just beautiful - we carry the PEACH color, is that what you used? Would you let us know what pattern book you found this in - we'd love to put together a kit with this, it really is just incredibly beautiful! Artyarns Cashmere Sock Yarn
You are an amazing knitter Sam! Such a lovely sweater. I have my first niece or nephew coming in a couple weeks! It's just quilts from me. Wish I could knit some little outfits. Great work :)
