I fell in love with a little cardigan after seeing a beautiful example on my Instagram feed. It’s called the Peachick Eyes Cardigan. I decided I must embrace some startitis and cast it on for Z immediately. Luckily, I have plenty of sock yarn on hand, and this was done with only a moment’s consideration. 
I’m using leftover Colinette Jitterbug in Elephant’s Daydream. I have two partial balls, totally about 126 grams. I think that should be plenty for the 2 yr old size, and if it isn’t, I can always add an accent color for the bottom or button band and armbands. It makes me a little sentimental to use this yarn, because I made Z’s first cardigan out of it. 
So far this is a fun and fast knit. I think she will be able to wear it some this spring, and layered with a long-sleeved t-shirt next fall and winter. I didn’t swatch (shhhhh…), but just grabbed the size 3 needles and got to work. If it ends up slightly too big because I’m a loose knitter, all the better! That just makes for a longer wear time. There’s also a matching adult version. That might have to happen at some point to satisfy my unquenchable desire for matching mother/daughter knits.
Such a cute little sweater. 🙂
I fell in love with it too and purchased immediately. Now to decide which little girl I know “needs” to have it! I have an over abundance of WIPs, so I will enjoy watching yours progress until I clear some of my backlog.
Many girls “need” to have it! Tons of the sizes can be made with a single skein of sock yarn if you do the short sleeved version. That’s a big plus. And short sleeves will work for more seasons for my kiddo.
Cute! The grownup version is quite elegant, too: if matching knits can be so classy, why not?
Exactly! I don’t have a cardigan quite like this in my wardrobe, so it should probably happen in the fall.
Love the color. Very cute!
This is an adorably outlet for your startitis! Lucky little Z 🙂
I think it will be exciting when she understands that I’m making these things for her. I try to explain it sometimes, but I don’t think it clicks yet. I will be ultra excited when she can have input on the color or pattern choices.
This is such an adorable little cardi! Can’t wait to see it finished
Love the color!
