Uncommon Threads Yarn

WIP Wednesday: In Threes by Kelly Herdrich, knit in Isager Baby, also called Eco Baby.

Baby projects are so much more than a sweater, booties or a blanket. Every stitch is made with love and good intentions, and the yarn you choose has to be just right: easy-care and soft next to baby skin.

Eco Baby is a squishy blend of alpaca and cotton that can handle gentle washing. Since it’s a finer weight than the pattern calls for, I knit the next size up with a needle size appropriate for the yarn (US 4-5). I’ve knit this pattern a few times and I love how quickly it works up and there are no teeny sleeves to knit in the round. Easier for you, and easier to get squirmy baby arms into the cardigan.

Isager Baby comes in soft undyed colors as well as pastels - it’s worthy of your next tiny project!
