A while ago I discovered this charming
heartwarmer pattern. I have always been a fan of shawls and heartwarmers. They are so cozy and old-fashioned. There is nothing quite like wearing a shawl while drinking a cup of tea on a cool autumnal morning!
The idea of knitting a heartwarmer for my little darling was definitely appealing to me, as a shawl was not really practical. The little side button added extra charm to the piece, and heartwarmers always make me think of "Little Women". : )
My mom gave me these sweet little wooden button with etched flowers. I thought they were the perfect choice!
The pattern was very easy to follow, and offers two sizes. However with the adjustable buttons you could probably adjust the sizing even further. Mostly the pattern is comprised of a garter stitch and easy increases, excepting some subtle patterning a few rows before finishing.
Jemimah is enjoying her little heartwarmer, and it certainly warms my heart to see her wearing it over her calico dress! In fact I enjoyed this pattern so much I have another on my needles right now in a soft white alpaca blend.
Jemimah's pretty heart warmer shawl worn over her pretty calico surely does warm my heart. Everything is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah...it is always a real delight to see a new post from you! How I enjoy your lovely blog... This is such an adorable heartwarmer, and the colour is absolutely gorgeous, as are the wee buttons! Oh, I can just imagine how precious your sweet Jemimah looks in it!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a blessed new week, dear Sarah...much love and hugs!
Sarah what a delightful heart warmer you have made for your little one. And an excellent idea since it probably fits a bit like a vest and she will not try to take it off :o). Thank you for sharing the link. Have s blessed day! Mari
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo! The heartwarmer is gorgeous - thank you for the pattern link as I have never seen these before. I wear shawls all the time, but this pattern is so practical and lovely.

How adorable she is. If you live in an older home you know there is almost always a draft somewhere. I also have a few shawls which are placed all over my house I even caught my hubby snuggled up with one a time or two.
