Notes

Gauge
Before machine wash and dry on 3.5mm needles 22sts = 4”
After washing shrunk to 25sts = 4” so went up to 3.75mm

Didn’t bother to block since it’s machine wash and dry and looks pretty even.

I wouldn’t do the pocket w kfb incs in mc again since it left big sts on front. I’d just k and mark them to pick up later.

On the ears I picked up every other row and did EZ’s sewn bind off.

Needed a 6th skein on the band of the last sleeve, argh!

Looked nice and roomy but not too huge for Carter at 1y, who’s a big kid for his age. Was def huge on Izzy at 11mo, so don’t need to go up a ton for hers!

Notes from other projects:
Pocket to avoid seaming: don’t cast off, just kfb and continue in mc w bump sts. Before starting garter band, make pocket, then ktog pocket and body for garter.
