f.o. | elwood baby.

Pattern Details: Elwood by Jenny Wiebe Yarn: Malabrigo Rios (main color: Azul Profundo ; contrasting color: Glazed Carrot. approx. 630 yards total)This is the second Elwood I have knit this spring. The first time around, it was for a colleague having her first kid. This time, it's for my third nephew, who was born last week, and I finished the cardigan about a week before the (early) due date.It is such a quick knit with endless rewards. If you are looking for a grandpa style cardigan for a small person in your life--this is the sweater. And, you can make a matching one for yourself, if that's your jam--adult sizes are included in the pattern.I settled on a blue and orange striped one, after seeing another in a similar color on ravelry and being smitten with the pops of color. I used two skeins of Malabrigo Rios (super wash merino wool is the best way to go for babies and busy moms) in the azul profundo and glazed carrot colorways. The six month size called for two skeins of the main color, but I didn't use the second skein. While normally I'd be annoyed by this, it's a great, and versatile worsted weight yarn. It will become a winter hat, or matching accessories for baby, soon.See my pattern notes here. Check out more of my baby knits here.
