Amidst those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, Knit Campers add yarn[y] to the list of rhyming words as 100s plunge into a four-day sweater knitting adventure. While I did not follow the crowd’s choice of patterns, I did create a sweater for an expected great-great niece or nephew. (We must wait until October to know which.)
Green is the new momma’s favorite color, thus the choice of this gender-neutral forestry colorway. The blend of cotton, bamboo, and silk always knits up nicely with the advantage of being machine washable. Marie Greene’s Babbling Brook pattern offers assorted sizes from newborn (0-6 months) to seven years; and includes my favorite design element – cables. Knowing little ones grow quickly, I hope this size 2-4 might keep our new great-great warm through one or two Oregon rainy seasons.
Congratulations Katie and Cam!

It’s a cute jumper and hard to tell it’s small in size from the photo. I’m sure the parents will love it whichever gender the baby is, hope all goes well in October when they arrive.

Your toddler sweater is beautiful. I know I’ve sworn off knitting below 2T as they out grow them too fast. At least the sweater I knit for my one granddaughter is being passed on to another granddaughter since it only got worn twice. Beautiful color.
