A Sweater for Leo


I just finished this wee little fisherman's pullover for my cousins new baby boy, Leo.



This pattern, Fisherman's Pullover, is from the book 60 Quick Baby Knits. Recognize this yarn? I used the leftovers of my Madelinetosh DK in Vintage Frame from the Gramps Cardigan.

As soon as I saw this little sweater pattern in the book, I fell in love. I love little preppy boy sweaters like this! I have all of the yarn to cast on a larger size for my son next.

This sweater has everything I like in a pattern.. It was interesting but not too hard.



 I love the way these cables turned out. (They are so pretty.. err.. handsome!)


It looks like it will be a warm, cozy sweater to keep little Leo warm this winter. I look forward to shipping it out to New York tomorrow. I hope my cousin loves it! :)

Took the words right outta my mouth HANDSOME
Handsome, indeed. I must do a baby knit. Perhaps not a cabled project, but something handsome then find a baby to gift.

I love that sweater too. I love the color that you used and it will look so wonderful on the baby too. I knit mine in a forest green and the pattern was so easy to memorise.

This sweater is perfect! I'm sure your son's will be just as handsome! I've never tried to knit a sweater, but maybe, just maybe I'll try a baby sweater. I'm a new listener and am loving your podcast. Congratulations on your Annie book too. I'm definitely getting a copy for myself. :-)
