FO: little baby sweater  

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
The pattern was supposed to be "Simple Baby Sweater" from Easy Baby Knits, but this being me and all things be equal, I ended up making some changes.

I didn't want to fool with shoulder seams, so I knit it in one piece so the only seaming would be the sides and bottom of the sleeves.

Halfway in to it, I realized I didn't have any buttons and couldn't be bothered to get any, so I omitted the button shoulder and made it a little tunic style instead.

I used two skeins of RYC Cashsoft 4ply in bark (with only a tiny bit leftover) and maybe a fourth or so of RYC Cashsoft 4ply in papyrus for the band on the bottom and the i-cord trim on the sleeves and neck.

It's sweet!

For some reason your pictures took FOREVER for me to view! I'm actually still waiting on the original...

I hate computers.

lily - mutt both of the puppies are just big old mutts!

OMM - it's ridiculously easy. I'm might make one for Poppy soon, but knit the bottom in the round so avoiding side seams. I can't decide if I hate sleeve or side seams more...

I like your modifications, I really like how you did the sleeve, the cuff with the little indent. Very cool.
