I just finished Rufus Textured Cardi for my baby boy.
Pattern: Rufus Textured Cardigan from Vintage Baby Knits by Kristen Rengren
Yarn: Berroco Vintage DK in Chana Dal bought at Bobbins Nest Studio, less than 2 hanks. 50% acrylic, 40% wool and 10% nylon
Needle: US size 5 and 6
Size: 12 months
I knitted most of it while traveling in France, so it is certainly very memorable. The pattern is well-written (or should I say well-adapted from the old vintage pattern) and consists of five pieces (back, front left, front right and two sleeves). I would rather knit in one piece though. The stitch pattern is easy to memorize and definitely makes the cardigan looks very stylish, my baby boy will look hip in an old man kind of way
The yarn is squishy and soft, I don’t normally knit with acrylic or acrylic blend but I am trying to be practical since I need to throw it into a machine when my baby soils it. The color is so yummy, jewel tone and perfect for next fall when he’s about 9 – 12 months old.
The cardigan is not completely finished, i still need to put on buttons.




omg!! i didn’t know you were expecting as well!!! when is your due date!? my baby is due in december!! that cardigan is sooo cute!!!
