This is a pattern I designed based on a request from a friend. She wanted a larger version than the baby sweater that I had a pattern for. SO… I did some research on sizing, looked at copius stitch dictionaries, did the math, swatched and came up with this design. I have fun knitting it every time. I also asked the free test knitters group to test knit this design. They came back with a lot of helpful suggestions for reading ease. I hope that others will find it as fun to knit as I did designing it!
