While we usually save new Rosie Knits for the newsletter debut, we decided to sneak in an extra pattern anyways. We noticed that Rosie Knits didn't have a house baby blanket pattern and we designed a knit version and a crocheted version. The knit blanket was finished first, mainly due to needle size & gauge, and now we present to you the Little Sprout Baby Blanket! It's a (you guessed it!) baby blanket using 6 skeins of Classic Elite Sprout, shown in 4321 Limeade, and is available right now.
Sprout is a great yarn not just for blankets, but for other baby items as well as a light summer top for us not-so-baby folks, like
Emmaline from Knitty.com. It's 100% organic cotton, knits up at 3.5 stitches per inch and it's washable. This means that not only will you be finished rather quickly, but, should you knit it for someone else, caring for it will be easy as well. Designed by a member of the Rosie's design team, it's knit from corner to corner and has cables all around the sides as accents to the reverse stockinette stitch background. It is classified as "easy" but if you run into any problems, we're here to help and are more than ready to do so. We have Sprout in the store if you're interested in stopping by to take a look at the color selection. If you don't live close by, we have made it available to purchase Sprout from the website
