My stealth project for March has finally reached its destination. I knit this as a special birthday request for a 6 year old boy.
The pattern is Fletcher from the old Rowan Pipsqueak book.I am sure I have knit this pattern already two times before.
This is Fletcher the third.
Again in Rowan All Seasons Cotton. Both my nephews have loved their Fletcher and it has been passed to other boys in our family.
This new Fletcher has been knit in size 8-9 years. First because I could not remember how old he was going to be (6 or 7). Of course I also want him to have a few years wear out of it.
The All Seasons Cotton does wash and wear well.
The yarn also knits up great. Overall it was a joy to knit.
I am glad it has arrived in Oklahoma safely and I hope he will get a lot of joy out of it.
He is very happy with it and very impressed with my knitting skills.
The Rowan Pipsqueak book is my all time favourite when it comes down to children knitting.
I have knit 6 patterns from this book, before my blogging time and way before Ravelry.
Hopefully some of those handknits will pop back to us, after they have been worn by other members of the family.
