Easy Peasy Baby Jacket Using Big Bad Wool Weepaca
The Design
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!
In light, worsted-weight Big Bad Wool Weepaca, this adorable sweater flies off your needles and right onto your little one. An incredibly soft, half-and-half blend of fine merino and baby alpaca, this natural fiber has a traditional color palette—with a few juicy pops that provide so much room for play.
