This Saturday is Small Business Saturday and I will be with 100+ other small business owners on the Avenue in White Marsh. Please come out and see us if you're local! It's a chance to get out and walk off some of that turkey while finding some great holiday gifts. I designed and made this sweater over two shows. It's actually pretty similar to the Birthday Sweater I made a few years ago. Since I was designing and making at a show, I didn't write anything down so no pattern. This is Miss Babs Big Silk Yarn which is a worsted weight yarn. One skein of Ziggy Stardust and 2 of Moss.


All of the stitches in the moss is the lemon peal stitch - one single crochet followed by a double crochet. In the alternating rows you are double crocheting in the single crochet and single crocheting in the double crochet. The Ziggy Stardust is mostly half double crochets. The exception is the edging on the collar and pockets which is 4 half double crochet in each stitch.




Big Silk is one of my favorite Miss Babs yarn for winter. It's super soft and its really warm at the same time.




I made the sleeves slightly shorter because my experience they will stretch a bit with wear.
