New Store Sample: Pebbles Baby Vest

Last week Liane whipped up this adorable little baby vest, Pebbles, with less than 1 skein of Madeline Tosh Tosh Merino DK.

The Yarn

OMG, Madeline Tosh Tosh Merino DK  is a yummy, yummy yarn! It's a 100% merino superwash, squishy single ply, with a little bit of sheen, and the beautiful subtle colouring Tosh is know for. It's called a DK but it blooms, so we used a 4mm needle. 

The Pattern

1. It's free.  2. It's been pretty popular on Ravelry and has over 3400 projects, so there are lots of notes from other people.  3. It's only one size, but if you want to make it larger consider browsing through some of the aforementioned notes.  4. It comes from the mind of professional designer Nikol Lohr, but it's a "this is how I did it" freebie.

FREE Truman Vest Pattern in Berroco Blackstone Tweed

Berroco just published this really cute Free Vest Pattern named Truman using Berroco Blackstone Tweed!  I've been working with Blacsktone Tweed this week and am happy to report that it is soft, easy to work with, and has a lot of stretch to it (for some reason most tweeds do).  

The above pattern, Truman, is the worsted weight, hooded version of the vest pattern Berroco published in their Blackstone Tweed book #298, named Dickens, which is made with Blackstone Tweed Chunky.
