Notes

Super fast and simple execution. However, I did have some issues with the pattern directions:

-No gauge was listed. Not a problem for me since I figured that the baby would grow into this either way, but there was also no finished measurement so other knitters wouldn’t be able to calculate their own gauge to make it exactly the same.
-Circular needles were specified in the pattern, but there was absolutely no use for them.
-Why didn’t they recommend knitting in the round? You have circular needles, why don’t you knit in the round for X rounds to make the first sleeve, switch to flat knitting for the body, and then back to circular for the other sleeve?

The idea itself is super cute, however, and I love the slip stitch garter ridge. Contemplating making a second one with ribbed edging that turns into a braiding along the body.
