Pattern: “Elijah” by Ysolda Teague
Made For: Baby Buchan
Needle: US 1/2.25 mm
Yarn: Rowan Cashsoft 4 Ply
Completed: July 16, 2013

This is my first time knitting a toy! I used a slightly lighter weight yarn than the pattern calls for, so Elijah was a little smaller than I expected, but he’s still pretty cute.

He took a little less than month to knit up — during a baseball game or a movie a few nights each week. I would happily knit another Elijah!

My friends, Bertine and Zach, opened the gift I had enclosed him in just yesterday. Their two-year old niece, Kethry, loved Elijah right away — so I consider this project a success! (Though I still hope Baby Buchan loves him, too!)
