Introducing......

-


Cherished, the first official "Froggie Meanie" design.......a fair isle pullover for that special grand-daughter perhaps?

Knit in the round, with armhole and neckline steeks, this would be a great sweater to introduce the new fair isle knitter to the traditional techniques.

Cherished is knit in Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift, using Natural White throughout the background, and six delicious shades alternating throughout the design.

So I think Cherished will be the February special over at She Ewe Knits......see She Ewe Knits for details.

    Perfect! Just what I've been hoping for. Haven't steeked yet and this should be the perfect size project for me. Thanks!

    This is so adorable. Do you think it could be adapted to a larger size, say, 6 years? I know my daughter would love it, but alas, she's no longer that tiny!

    It is beautiful....I think I will have to get me one (not that I know any 2 or 3 year olds). Good for Renee!

    Never mind...went to your link and saw that it is too small. Any suggestions for a child's size 8 to 12 that is beginner friendly?

    There's method to your madness.
