Elizabeth Zimmermann's elaboration on the Baby Sweater on Two Needles:

Although babies rarely, if ever, express their pleasure at being dressed in wool, it is surely manifest when you dote on a small plump person soundly and contentedly asleep, swaddled in woollen sweater, woollen leggings, and a soft wool bonnet, snugly tucked under a fine warm wool blanket.

I am trying to simplify and rationalize the traditional two-needle baby sweater, and tame it with percentages.
