Stripy Baby Sweater
I think this is my best work yet.
Knit with 3mm needles and local Israeli cotton yarn:
TeDdY's Wool: SUPER COTTON in lilac (2 skeins)
and
Heela knitting yarn in white (1 skein)
I was a bit off gauge so I shaved of 10 sts from the pattern and I can't remember how much of the sleeves.
Pattern calls for two buttons, but I only had around the flat and the neck line looks wide enough also.
I carried the yarn along for the stripes.
I really like this sweater, I'd like to make it again, with hopes to adjust the pattern to make for my son in blue and white.
Made for the office CPA who is due to become a daddy for the 1st time in September, they are expecting a girl.
Here is a view of the neckline.
