A Trellis For Baby

June 3, 2009 By Carole

I promised you knitting and I always keep my promises. Here we have a finished baby sweater. Namely, Trellis.

trellis-front

Remember my dear friend Lois? She of the “of course we can do that” fame? This is for her newest grandchild on the way. The baby is predicted to be a boy and I just had to knit him an aran style sweater.

trellis-buttons

With leather buttons. It’s so manly – in a baby sort of way.

trellis-collar-and-buttons

The yarn is Knitpicks Superwash Merino Worsted weight. It’s very soft and smooshy and will be warm and cuddly next winter. Hopefully the sweater and baby will match in size when the weather is appropriate for wool.

That’s a crap shoot, though, and we all know it.

    My mom knit that last year (with a lot of help and encouragement!) for my brother’s grandson — her great-grandson! It’s such an adorable sweater!

    Adorable! But I do think you choice of words – crap shoot – in a post about a baby sweater, and considering the sweater is white, is just too funny!!

    The Trellis is so cute. Mine is still sitting half finished in the UFO pile. Dont know when I will pull it out again but I love your color choice and buttons.

    Great sweater! And yeah, it’s never easy to know if it will fit when needed.

    Carole! That’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. All those cables and fancy stitches…wow!

    Sweet.

    I think you were working on that when I was there. It came out beautifully!

  14. Vicki says

    Love that sweater! Hopefully, if anything other than a perfect fit this winter, it’ll be a little bit big — I’m a big fan of the rolled-up sleeve.
    ; )

    Love the sweater….already too small in the largest size to dare making it for my newest grandson. He’s the one who wore my Owl sweater for exactly two weeks, you might recall. I just sent version #2, size 2, down to Baltimore and they laughed. By the time Baltimore is cool enough for a wool sweater, he’ll be out of this one. Crapshoot, indeed. Maybe I should just concentrate on making sweaters for the older kids (who don’t grow as fast) and hope they get passed down.

    It’s wonderful and the baby will look so adorable in it!

  17. Cheryl says

    June 3, 2009 at 10:45 am

    I made one of those for Olivia with almost those exact same buttons! So cute! Hopefully Rachel’s three kids don’t abuse it too badly and my baby can wear it too.

    That’s such a cute sweater! Love it!

    I just love the baby manliness- it’s those buttons that clinch it. They’ll love it too.

  20. Carol says

    I’m sure it will fit if he’s still ‘on the way’. It’s cool here even in Sept. The cardi is absolutely adorable!

    Gorgeous!! I want one in my size!

    BTW, what’s the name and brand of the orange color in your bathroom?? It’s summer, which means it’s house project time. Thanks! 🙂

    Such a great sweater. It’s on my list when I find the right baby.

  27. elizabeth says

    It’s beautiful! If it doesn’t fit, she can hang it on the wall as decor!

  28. jill says

    June 3, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    I love the manly buttons. Nice choice!

  29. lisa says

    June 3, 2009 at 7:26 pm

    It’s beautiful! And as for the crap shoot… I say the sweater is knitted and can stretch out a bit, and the kid can wear it in summer… at least to get a photo shoot out of it.

    June 3, 2009 at 8:41 pm

    it’s adorable — I love the classic combo of yarn and buttons. You know, every time I see one of these I love it. Am waiting for the grownup version so I can have one too…

  31. Sarah says

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
