Notes

A unisex project for a baby of unknown gender.

I made this sweater 11.5” long instead of 11” long because Steven and his brother are both very tall and his brother’s baby is tall, so I figured Steven’s baby would also likely be tall.

I knit the body 7.5” long instead of 7” long.

I made single YO buttonholes instead of double YO buttonholes: k3, YO, k2tog, knit to last 5 sts, k2tog, YO, k3.

I used six 5/8” buttons from Michaels.
