Sprinkle from Loops of London

This is Sprinkle, a sweater that will be gifted very soon to my new granddaughter, Evelyn. Sprinkle is a pattern by Juju Vail and Susan Cropper of Loops of London. It’s included in their wonderful book Juju’s Loops.The only modification I made was to add a few rows to the yoke so that the neckline would be a closer fit.

Evelyn’s Sprinkle is knit in Spud & Chloe’s “Fine.” I like the way the dolphin and hippo colorways look together. Oh, that’s the blue and the gray–since both creatures are gray that isn’t very obvious. And I very much enjoyed working with this yarn. But, honestly, it didn’t hold up very well to wet-blocking. It feels a bit like I killed it with steam, when actually I just soaked it in unscented Eucalan and dried it flat.

Sprinkle is a sweet,vintage-styled, lightweight sweater for my sweet summer-born grandbaby.
