Notes

Made from leftovers of previous baby projects using Drops Baby Merino in shades Ice Blue, Lavender and Navy.

Modifications are all detailed here and include:

  • Restricting palette to 3 shades instead of 5
  • Adjusting sleeve count to eliminate very wide sleeves by adjusting numbers after the yoke and adjusting underarm cast on
  • Adjusting number of sts picked up for button band
  • Changing number and placement of buttonholes to make them evenly spread along button band
  • Shortening sleeves
  • Changing stripe sequence to move away from all 1-row stripes so result not so visually jarring in high-contrast shades.

Picture of altered stripe sequence for the 24 rows of stripes given for the smallest size is below:
