Child's Placket Pullover
This was a fun pattern/color to knit. Easy-peasy for a beginner like me. The only modification made was to omit the buttons for a more relaxed pullover. It would've been finished earlier but the siren call of lace (Branching Out), cables (Irish Hiking Scarf), mittens and this pink project (Molly) distracted me.
The verdict is still out whether I like the discontinued LB Cotton Ease. It was a little bit rough on my hands during knitting. However, it will be overlooked because of its ease of care (machine wash/dry).
The recipient is really happy with his new sweater. All in all, it was a perfect stashbuster project plus I learned how to knit plackets. Woohoo!
Pattern: Last-Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: LB Cotton Ease in Pineapple
Needles: Addi Circulars in US 6

The pullover looks wonderful!! I love the bright, happy color- so perfect for children. And the recipient is SUCH a cutie!! :-) Great job!
Looks great! I love the bright pineapple. :) ps...my hiking scarf is at 37 inches...I have to get it off my needles so I can start on clapotis.
Oh I love it! What a great color! I've been wanting to knit that and the little pants out of LMKG forever... what an adorable picture too :)
That is a great looking sweater....I'm sure it will get lots of use!
