Bartlett Car Coat Live

Petite Purls just went live this morning with their latest issue. If you are not familiar with them, they are the online knitting and crochet magazine for little ones (babies and small kids). They also have great articles on moms and other crafty ideas.

In this issue, I have a baby girl car coat that is free for you guys! It is sized from 6mth to 24mth. Made from a few skeins of Spud and Chloe Fine, it is a great wearable sweater for playtime. CJ is modeling it here on the blog, and Brandy's daughter is modeling it on Petite Purls. So you can see how it fits on 2 different 2 yr olds. The stitch pattern is really easy with just back and front post double crochet stitches. Sometime after this book, I hope to release it here for sale on Crochet By Faye in more sizes; but knowing me that will be a while from now.

I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, and can easily see it being a staple in CJ's wardrobe this winter. Big Thank You to Diane for crocheting the sample for me. She just won the grand prize at CGOA's design competition, besides being thrilled for her, i am so thankful to have her expert help on my projects too.

I have lots and lots more pictures of the sweater modeled by CJ, here at flickr. Don't forget you get the pattern over at Petite Purls.
