Baby Yoko Sweater
So, I've knit my first sweater--a baby sweater for my friend Yoko, who is going to have a baby any minute. Being a relatively new knitter, I wanted a pattern that was both relatively easy and interesting. Hence, the Baby Yoda sweater from Dogs Steal Yarn.
I like Baby Yoda in its original Jedi-grey. Yet, I wanted to change things up a bit as Yoko's not quite so into the Force. And, she's not telling boy or girl, but knowing her as I do, a grey sweater wouldn't work for a girl. (Remember, though, you're talking to the woman who lets her own boy wear pink tropical fruit pants. I don't have a problem with changing it up gender-wise, but thre's a time and a place for everything).
Anyway, this sweater was knit with Knitpicks Shine worsted. I think it knit up really well. Obviously, I used 4 balls of yarn--I mostly had scraps left. It was a little tricky blending the colors at the collar, so don't look too closely at that part, but overall, I think it turned out great. I hope Yoko and her baby like it!
