    About

    This was a stash buster project. I found 2 skeins of Cascade Venezia Sport and a little bit of lace weight pink merino and a package of pink buttons that matched the pink yarn. I used the pink yarn double and it worked fine. Venezia is excellent yarn - it survived several episodes of rework. It seems to not split or pill and is very strong. Not ideal for babies though - hand wash only. The pattern (another excellent one from OGE Designs) is interesting. A little bit of simple fair isle, a different kind of ribbing, nice detail on the raglans and the little loops for the buttons were fun to make (youtube video). The only drawback is all the seaming. Overall, a really fun pattern for an intermediate knitter, and in spite of all the tedious seaming, I would make this pattern again.

    • Circular 3.25mm (US 3) 80cm

    Accessories

    • Buttons
    • Tapestry Needle
    Other : I used circular needles, but they are not necessary. Single points would be fine. Also, if you know how to crochet, you can crochet the little button loops, but I really like the little knitted ones.

      Debra - oh good. Please post your project when you are done. I would like to know what yarn you used. I am contemplating doing this again using Knitpicks Stroll, which is very soft and machine washable, not exactly the right weight, though.
