Easy Peasy Baby Jacket Using Blue Sky Organic Cotton Worsted
The Design
“The perfect first sweater—for baby and for knitter.”
There’s something sweet, even naïve, about an all-garter-stitch baby sweater. It’s a perfect first sweater—for baby and for knitter. And, whether it’s your first sweater or your hundredth, you’ll appreciate not having to add front or neck bands when you’re done. That’s the beauty of garter stitch.
Blue Sky Fibers’ Organic Cotton Worsted is wonderful for this sweet little sweater. The natural softness of 100% certified organic cotton bounces through this worsted-weight yarn’s loose, 2-ply twist. With a springy-ness that’s reminiscent of wool and a fantastic range of deeply saturated colors, Organic Cotton Worsted will quickly knit up this wee jacket—easy peasy!
