I guess it's safe to say I am in love with the Cobblestone sweater. You may remember the one I knit for Greg for our 7th wedding/Wool Anniversary or how about the one I knit for Jorn last winter (which I think will still fit him this year). Anyhow, it seemed only right that I should knit one for my Sweet Baby Vaughn since mornings are chilly now in Vermont and are requiring an extra layer. I give you...Baby Cobblestone!
This sweater was knit with Karin's amazing yarn which I have to say is an absolute joy to work with! Oh my gosh. It's the kind of yarn that you know you will use again and again but that you also just want to hoard in the worst way. There are links on her blog to on-line and physical shops where you can find it and honestly, you'd be crazy not to go and scoop some up. I knit this sweater with one hank and have enough left over for at least a hat and probably baby socks too.
This is just another heavily modified version of Jared Flood's super outstanding Cobblestone Pullover. You can find my project details here on Ravelry plus a few more pictures too.
I have a lot more I'd like to say about this project but my contact just fell out of my eye and Vaughn woke up from his nap! So, it will have to wait I guess...
That is the cutest version of Cobblestone I've seen yet!! Vaughn is beyond adorable.

Thanks so much Renee! I am honored by your comment about the sweater but have to openly and brazenly agree with you about Vaughn :)

That is soooo sweet. Thank you so much for taking the yarn and turning it into the most perfect little sweater.

i knew it was karin's yarn! and what a great color. there are very few things i like better than seeing a baby wrapped in handknits while on a sheepskin.

Adorable. How satisfying to see your little wrapped up in a handknit!

Genious!!! I LOVE Cobblestone, have knit it for Boyfriend Dear, but I guess now my babies need it too. It would be lovely in a purple-mix for my wee girl and in a green or brown-mix for my big boy. Thanks!!!!
