I knit this at a tighter gauge than the pattern suggests, so as a result I shortened it to keep everything proportional.

After blocking, the garter stich yoke is 3.25 inches deep, the stockinette body is 4.75 inches, and the stockinette portion of the arms is 3.25 inches. The garter stitch cuffs and border on the bottom of the body are 1-inch.

The Zara was beautiful to knit with and bloomed every so slightly (about a quarter-inch in length) after washing. I want to knit this for every baby I know.

Yarn colour in bottom photo is very accurate.
