YARN - The After Party 83 Bibbed Sweater

There is a certain beauty in simplicity that cannot be beat, which is shown perfectly in our 83rd issue of YARN The After Party, featuring the Bibbed Sweater by Jane Burns! Knitted in garter stitch using a single shade, this silky soft garment is exceptionally comfortable and warm thanks to the blended fibres in our Merino Soft Brush yarn. Crafters can combine this versatile sweater with other garments in endless ways, creating an outfit that can be truly cool or incredibly cute to suit any baby or toddler! The Bibbed Sweater is completed with a variety of colourful buttons to add a fun and playful finishing touch.

The sweater photographed is knitted with our Scheepjes Merino Soft Brush in colour 252 Toorop, but would look equally wonderful made in any of our Scheepjes Merino Soft colours or Scheepjes Merino Soft Brush yarns, giving creative hands plenty of options to experiment with colour. The pattern includes 5 sizes suitable for babies and toddlers from 0-24 months old.
