Trellis, For Realz.
This picture-heavy post is brought to you by the happiest one-year-old in the world: Big Head Schmoo.
Yay! It's my birthday!
BHS totally partied hard on his birthday, in just the way you would expect: CAKE.
Oh yes, it was that kind of party.
In between slinging cake and opening presents, the adorable BHS was able to squeeze in a photoshoot with his favorite Uncle Jacob (so Aunt Carrie can have proper FO pictures of the Trellis, of course.)
Standing!
You know the project: Trellis, from Knitty. I loved knitting this - I used Knit Picks Shine Worsted in Grass, and I was super happy with the result. I made the small body and the large sleeves (don't ask) and you can see in the pictures that BHS needed the sleeves rolled up. So, my recommendation would be to make the matching size sleeves and body. Duh.
This yarn is super soft, and only gets softer with machine washing. I made a Picovoli in this yarn, and pilling has been pretty minimal for me after several washings. I think this is a great yarn for baby clothes.
The buttons were purchased at The Point NYC and a close-up can be seen here on my Flickr account.
BHS says:
I am so stylish in my new sweater!
And also, pffffbbbttt.
Nephews are the best knitwear models.

I LOVE THIS SWEATER! I'm finally back to knitting after morning sickness made the smell of yarn repulsive. Unfortunately, I've never worked with cables before and I got stuck the moment instructions pointed to the chart. Does anyone know of a good online idiot's guide to knitting from charts or super detailed instructions for the Trellis pattern. The sweater is for my baby boy due in September (yeah!)

He is too cute, especially in that MARVELOUS cardigan you made!

BHS is a mcgoo and also has a normal head size. That sweater is gorgeous!

The sweater is gorgeous ~~the model is very cute too :-).
I saw that pattern, but I didn't knit. I'm definitely going to do it now. Thanks for the yarn type too. It's 4 year olds favorite color.

AHHHHHH! Very sweet. Your nephew is a cutie and he looks great in his new sweater which is awesome (I love green). Great knitting!

He is adorable. I just started trellis, too! What a wonderful knit, it looks really great on him.
Posted by eyeleen | June 4, 2007 9:32 PM
omg those curls! He just needs little brown loafers and a newsboy cap to go with Trellis and he'd be a miniature Rowan model! Too cute, too cute!
Posted by Val | June 4, 2007 9:04 PM
He has so much personality! Adorable.
And there is a good chance that I may rip muy Picovoli that I made with KP Shine and make a Trellis. Not for me of course, but for a friends child :)

Love the trellis, so nice in the green colorway. Your nephew is a heart breaker already, and so adorable in his auntie's special handknit cardigan.

Big Head Schmoo! In his Trellis! Too cute. My sister was just guilting me about letting my neph outgrow his sweater-maybe he needs a Trellis next.
