FO: Yoked Lace Baby Jacket
I know it’s been weeks since I checked in but I’ve been terribly distracted by spring and all the hope it brings. I am giddy, full of ideas and furiously planning for the summer. Furthermore, my knitting has not excited me much so I’ve had little blogging to do. The end of winter absolves me of my nagging guilt over not knitting anything for Beatrix this year; instead, I am now liberated to knit her a few sweaters for next winter.
Pattern: DROPS Design b13-18 Jacket
Yarn: Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in Bulldog Blue
Needles: US 4
Modifications: I omitted the crochet edgings on the collar and cuffs.
I wanted a navy sweater but I regret that the color quite obscures the pattern. I’ll know better next time. The photos below are more accurate representations of the color.
In the end, it’s a sweet little sweater that will see a great deal of use but it was not very interesting to knit. With one sweater down, I’m off to make two more for toddler Beatrix, both from Phildar’s Tricotez Calin (no 470):
Tune in next week for more complete updates!
It’s such a sweet sweater and looks beautiful on Beatrix. She’ll certainly have some beautiful sweaters for next year!
Oh the sweater is beautiful on Beatrix. She could be a knitwear model for children as she is such a cutie pie. I like the other patterns you are going to make too.
The sweater is lovely! And, of course, so is your daughter! great pics
beautiful sweater, goes well with those eyes!!
What a sweet sweater! And your daughter shows it off beautifully. What a cutie!

It’s an adorable sweater, but the model really makes it!
So cute! and I love your other two choices…can’t wait to see how they turn out! She will be all set for next winter!
Oh, that’s a truly beautiful sweater! I love it!
You certainly are sweater inspired. But I can certainly see why with such an adorable model.
Oh that Beatrix is a cutey pie. Knit sweaters for next winter, I should try that!!!
Beatrix looks so gorgeous in the sweater & I love th color. It’s so great to be able to knit such lovely toddlers’ sweaters - wish I had one to knit for.
she is quite the little model!!! what a cute sweater!
Awww! She’s *such* a sweetheart. Love the sweater, too.
Ooh, that sweater is adorable! It’s going straight into my queue for a friend who is due in August!
Absolutely beautiful sweater, and gorgeous model!
Beautiful sweater. She has such a sweet face!
Cute as can be! I’ll be on the lookout for that Phildar book.
She is absolutely darling and anything she wears would be perfect but you did a wonderful job on the sweater!
How lucky Beatrix will be to have all those handknit sweaters! I love the scalloped edging on the navy sweater.
She is so cute, especially in her mama-made sweater. I love the other choices you are thinking about too… very nice.
Cute polka dot tights! The sweater looks lovely on her.
How adorable! I think it’s a beautiful sweater & certainly looks interesting from here.
BTW, I’ve been having reaching you via e-mail about the blog thing. Can you contact me? Thanks!
SO cute, both her and the sweater/dress. Love.
Ohh, she looks like she’s about to get into some trouble in that first picture! Great baby sweaters–I like the patterns for the other ones, too.
It’s so cute, with plenty of room to grow!
