Peach Fuzz trio

Posted on April 17, 2025 Updated on April 17, 2025

Life is busy folks! But even though I haven’t been posting here, I promise I’ve been crafting on. And I was so proud of my last few makes that I wanted to pop in here to show you what it is 🙂

A few months ago, I ordered Melanie Berg’s most recent book “Sweaters”, and I love just about every design in there (as expected! She’s such a brilliant pattern designer).

I decided to break the ice with the simple but oh so colourful Peach Fuzz sweater, paired with some wonderfully soft Sami 100% organic Pima cotton yarn I brought back from our last trip to Peru. The purple yarn used for the yoke is also Pima cotton, it’s the Pima Cotton DK from Cloudborn Fibers. I’ve had this in stash for such a long time and absolutely LOVE IT (some of you might recognize it as I’ve used it for a snowflake sweater before) and although it’s not as light and airy as Sami, I thought it paired well for the more structured rib parts of the sweater.

And because I loved this piece so much, I couldn’t make just one… so I made three – one for me and one for each of my girls. Can I just squeeeee over how cute this little trio is?!

For my own, I followed direction for the smallest size and used 68 sts sleeves. I made no other modifications to this wonderful design.

For the girls, I obviously had to whip up something a bit different since the book doesn’t provide child sizes. All the details for each sweater are provided on my Ravelry project page (here for the 2T version and here for the 4-5T) but basically I changed the neckline to add buttons and changed the striping sequence on the sleeves to accommodate smaller little arms.

That’s all folks! I’ll have another matching kit to show you again in a few months I’m sure, so until then, take care 🙂
