Notes

Supersoft 5 Hour Baby Sweater.
This entire project was based on using up scraps and uses ‘found’ buttons from a button bag.

Cast on 33 sts. m1 = backward loop. Slip first st on each row.
I made it half way down the body before running out of Snowden yarn which was remnant from my Snowden blanket. I combined Lincraft Supersoft with Shepherd Cuddles 4 Me for the rest of the body. I then used just Shepherd Cuddles 4 Me for the garter st border.
I made a crochet flower using the Supersoft and added a found button. The sleeves were knit in Supersoft and are 7 rows of stocking stitch, then 4 rows of garter stitch cast off in purl on the right side.

Finished weight is 100grams
Finished size to fit 12 months:-

• Chest…61cm
• Length…27cm
• Raglan Depth…13cm
• Neck to Sleeve Cuff…16cm
• Underarm to Hem…16cm
These are very soft and stretchy yarns, especially the ‘Cuddles 4 Me’ which is extreme in its stretchiness and softness.
I will try the version by Anne Stoddard next time.
