Last summer our nephew got married, and we were thrilled to learn that he and his new wife will be having a baby in May…yay!!! The shower in is in April, so I quickly landed upon a baby sweater for a boy (yes, gender is already revealed!). Most baby boy sweaters seem to be a variation on the “grandpa sweater.” I chose Elevenses because it has cute pockets and elbow “patches.”
I used Malabrigo Rios, color Denim. So cute!! I am in love with this sweater and the yarn and the color. Hubby wants one of these! The pattern is extremely well written. I made a few changes, but nothing like I usually have to do!! 😉 Anyway, I do recommend this pattern. I knit a size 18 months so I hope it fits in cold weather vs the heat of August!! So hard to get that part right!
Size and season is so hard to predict when purchasing baby gifts! Beautiful sweater!

I’m sure you can adapt that pattern to grampa size. It will be so cute to have grandson and grampa in matching sweaters.

Pattern ordered and searching through stash tin hope I find suitable yarn for this neat little sweater. Great inspiration for social distance self preservation knitting.

Please can you tell me how I can get hold of the pattern for this lovely cardigan with pockets and elbow patches.
Many thanks

Do you think that toggle buttons ( think Paddington Bear) would work?
