The Family Treat pattern is one of my favourites from DROPS DESIGN. Do you remember the line after the recipes on websites: “I have made this * times?” Well, this is a knitting pattern, not a recipe, but I have knitted the green vest twice; this is the third time. The first green vest was for my Dad, because he wished for one, and he has had green vests from time to time knitted by my Mom. I started knitting for my parents a couple of years ago (five years ago) because my Mom doesn’t knit anymore (but has some crochet projects).

I knitted a vest for my husband the second time, and now, the third time, it’s for my Dad again. I tried it on before sending it to him.

I used Drops Karisma, 100% wool, and superwash for the Family Treat pattern.

The colours I used: sea green, petrol, and Laurel green.

What’s your favourite vest that you have knitted?

Green Grove Tee – a DROPS DESIGN pattern

Drops Muskat (yarn group B) colour: 61

100% cotton yarn

4mm circular needles

I needed to know how to knit a double decrease nicely: slip 2 stitches knitwise to the other needle, knit the next stitch, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knitted one.

For this beautiful Tee, I used the yarn Drops Muskat that I had at home, and I really liked knitting it. It is a good fit for the cool summer days here.
