No this is not a post about Captain Kangaroo, although I loved that show when I was a kid. This is one of the more popular free sweaters out there to knit. I finally have made mine. You can find the pattern on Knitty.com. I modified the cuffs of the sleeves as I only wanted a short rib at the bottom.
I used Cascade 220 I had in my stash and yes that is an elephant button, I thought it was perfect. Now I have a new sweater to wear. I am on the lookout for my next pattern as I have a salmon red yarn in my stash calling for a new sweater. Off to find a new pattern.
