I’ve had a few patterns published in Petite Purls, the online knitting magazine for children’s patterns, and I’m always amazed by the other patterns. Every issue makes me feel that I’m not worthy!
Case in point: Seal Island, a boys’ vest by Amanda Scheuzger. My four-year-old son, Sam, shouted when he saw it, so I knew I had to make him one. I substituted my favorite worsted yarn, Spud and Chloe Sweater, for the Berroco Vintage the pattern calls for. As you can see, it’s knitting up beautifully! I love the way cables pop in Sweater.
I was hoping to put the vest in his Easter basket. What do you think–can I finish knitting it in just a week? I have to tell you, I have my doubts.
