Lillie's Little Sweater in RainCityKnits Worsted "Kaleidoscope"

We first knit Lillie's Little Sweater in 2008 when The Boy was just a month old, and we've gone back to the pattern time and again for other babies--it's the perfect little cardi.  The pattern, from Cottage Creations, is not available in digital version, but we have lots of paper copies of the booklet in stock. Impeccably written and filled with helpful illustrated tutorials, this is a great project for a first-time sweater knitter. Our favourite feature is the fitted cap-like hood with a garter stitch band that folds back to frame tiny faces.  Our shop sample, size 6 months, took two skeins of RainCityKnits Worsted.
