Making this with DK yarn and US#4 needles. It’s turning out very tiny - maybe 6 month size? Love the pattern, yarn and it’s as cute as can be.

Made it a little longer than the pattern says.

I love this Schachenmayr yarn - it has a firm texture and didn’t totally lose it’s structure when I blocked it. I will be buying more. NOTE: this yarn says DK on the label, but on their website it is listed as a Lace weight - it is NOT a lace weight, just so you know.

Used exactly two skeins for this size.

I modified the pattern just a tad:

1. I only did 3 buttonholes (because I like that look)
2. I did M1 increases instead of the yarn overs she suggested.
3. I did 22 rows for the body instead of 17 as the pattern says.
4. I did 11 rows of garter stitch for the trim instead of 9.
5. I did 22 rows stockinette for sleeves before garter trim
