Elbow Patch Care Package

I belated decided that elbow patches would be THE THING to add to the Giant's Kouki Cardigan. Well, I didn't decide too late...I knitted them too late!

Fortunately, my cousin is very crafty! So while we were watching the Super Bowl (and after several beers) I told her my idea and got her to sign on to sewing them on herself!

Muahahhaha.

And so the Elbow Patch Care Package was created.

All your elbow-grinding needs, covered right here.

I wasn't sure if it would look better with moss stitch or straight knit, so I did both. Also not sure if it would look better with contrast or same color stitch....so I included both!

A super fast project that was so fun to put together...I think it would actually be a great addition to any cardigan - not just one that has been hand knit. I dropped it in the mail last week - here's hoping they arrive safely and find their way to L's elbows soon.

P.S. Making elbow patches for your toddler, and not sure how big they should be? Hint: A slice of SPAM is a perfect size guide. (Don't worry Kim...no SPAM touched this yarn!!)
