Them Apples

My latest FO and pattern (free!) availible at www.petitepurls.com is “Them Apples” a sweet and simple cardigan inspired by my daughters love of apples. When I was a little girl I remember in pre-school playing with a giant apple toy, I even have a photo of it someplace. Apple was one of BG’s first words (her first word was “uh oh” but apple wasn’t far behind). Allegra and I both wanted to design something for the premier issue of petite purls as our goal was to make available as many cute baby patterns as possible so we both wanted to contribute. I wanted to create something that was super affordable and accessible to knit (Lion Brand Cotton-Ease) as well as easy and quick to knit (hence the nice fat gauge). I went for cute little belled, half-sleeves because kids don’t really need long sleeves in summer. It’s perfect for popping on your tot when you go into a restaurant that is sub-zero even though your child is dressed for the 90 degree weather outside. Or on a cool summer night when your out at the park or by the lake and it’s nice and roomy so it should last into early fall.
