Such a cute card and well written pattern!

I used a cable cast on so that it lines up nicely with the garter ridges, and worked the pattern exactly as written, next time I think I may add long sleeves.

When my kids were babies I had a cache couer pattern where you joined the sleeves like this, but then you just worked a ribbing band all the way around and the garment crossed over and buttoned on both sides, so it was just a heart warmer. I never even thought to make the body of the garment longer, Lisa is a genius!
