Notes

I really like this little sweater, but I can already tell that the 18 mo version I almost have done is going to have a short season (very little ease, very form fitting) - so I am making a larger version (24 month size) in the blue and also going down one needle size to make a slightly thicker fabric.

Also, I have been trying to eliminate underarm holes in my raglan sweaters (when joining the held stitches for the sleeves in the round) - and I am going to try this technique (crossed stitches) from TechKnitting

Edit: I didn’t really notice any advantage to doing the cross stitches technique on this sweater. I also did CH 3 loops instead of 4 for the edging, and added several inches to the overall length. Darling!
