Notes

Making this again… seems I have to print it again too. (Pages 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11 are all that is needed to work this…)

This one is being made for the Granddaughter of Mr. Puss’s pet sitter/lover/jaw chewer off’er Wavey! She is a petite 7 year old princess so a size 6 should do the trick.

Many of the same mods as the first one but this time I may do the outward seams on the ribbing sections.

  • Working the back plain.
  • Using a crochet CO so I will have a nice edge showing. (Worked really well and easy to pick up the stitches.)
  • No reverse St.st.
  • I shouldn’t have bothered with the backward seams on the cuffs as they don’t show on St.st.

Such a pretty yarn and it’s making this sweater go quickly. I am almost done the front, just need the neck and shoulder shaping.

Again, I have had to write out the instruction on the chart page so I don’t get lost. (Again I am going blind trying to see the sections… Light freaking blue is no good for headings and reading at a glance trying to find your place!!!???) Do this, do this and at the same time do this and this… Oh my!

later that day: The front is done and washed and blocked (dry too) and I am on to the back. It is SO pretty… Wishing that I had adult SQ’s of this yarn!!!

It’s done and I just need to take some pics. heart

I love this yarn and it’s so great with this sweater design! It’s done and measurements are bang on for a 6 year old sizing.

Sure wish I had more of this yarn… I’d still like this sweater in my size!
