Lacey's Raglan Sleeve Sacque / Baby Sweater #2514, Adapted for Modern Life


Materials:

Rowan Classic Cashsoft Baby DK yarn (50% extra fine merino,
40% acrylic microfibre, 10% cashmere): 2 skeins (284 yards)
main color - I used SH 800, and 25- 50 yards contrasting color.
Addi Turbo 24 inch circular needle, size 2.5 mm (or size US 2).
Crochet hook.

***I never did figure out the details of the finishing edges as they are old crochet instructions and I have never formally learned crochet. I worked the beading crochet edge as written and threaded a braided trim through the holes. I did NOT attach the picot or the baby shell edgings.
*****I added three contrast stitches to the lower part of the beak to more closely approximate a pelican's beak.
******To my knowledge, this pattern is now public domain and is being sold elsewhere on the web as public domain.

About Me

My Photo
Doctor KnitterAt age 40 I "opted out" and took up knitting to fill the hours waiting for my children at their myriad activities. The busying of my hands allows my mind to wander freely - a pleasant and unanticipated paradox well known to knitters but previously unexplored in my life. This deeply physical habit/addiction enables me to attend to my children (unlike reading a book), talk with other parents (or pretend to ignore them when desirable), and regain the importance of a tactile daily experience...lost once my babies preferred running to sitting on my lap. This blog is designed to share, not only knitting patterns/ideas, but share the experience of bringing back grace and integrity to the modern raising of children in an urban environment.
