Knitting with the Cherry Blossom Collection
Many of you have asked to see the Cherry Blossom Collection yarn knit up. You also declare that you want pattern suggestions. Here we go.
That is a baby hat pattern I'm working on, that, fingers crossed, will be available next week. The yarn is "New Leaves of Spring" sport merino. And hopefully it will give you an idea as to how these three colorways look when knit.
As for what to knit with the Cherry Blossom Collection, here is my list of projects I think would look smashing in this yarn.
Melody's Shawl in FSM
Jaywalker Socks in sock (Ravelry link)
Baby Surprise Jacket in any yarn you'd like
Magic Slippers in sock
Round Ripple Baby Afghan in sport merino, DK merino or worsted merino (Ravelry link)
Lacy Baktus in sock
Clapotis in ASM or FSM
Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf in ASM (Ravelry link)
Bellatrix Socks in sock yarn (Ravelry link)
Northern Lights Shawl in sock or FSM (Ravelry link)
Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl in DK merino or ASM
The three Cherry Blossom colorways are perfect for baby knits, especially the "New Leaves of Spring", which will work if you don't know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl. I'm going to keep several skeins of all the colors to have on hand whenever an I need to knit a baby gift. You might want to stock up while the colors are available!
So, so cute!
Thank you so much...great ideas!
Very cute - but where's the pattern for that adorable hat? I'd love to have it!
My thanks also for the great list of ideas. And I agree - that hat is too cute! Hope the pattern will be available. It really showcases the yarn!
Great ideas, thank you. Would you consider dyeing skeins in these soft colors without the addition of the branch color?
Further to skylark's comment - how about an LE batch of Cherry Blossoms at night, i.e. invert all the colours so brown was dominant but with vibrant splashes of the pink (blossoms in the moonlight), blue (stars), and green (new leaves in the moonlight). would love to be able to get the complimentary day/night colours to use together...
Would love to see the hat pattern ... adorable! And my first grandbaby is on the way!!
