Notes

JoJo is 15 months old in the photos (11/9/21 and 11/25/21).

I used a long tail cast on, started with a WS row, and worked 8 rows of rib instead of 7.

For the back I decreased to 52 sts after the rib instead of 50 sts to account for the selvage sts. I worked an extra decrease row on row 5 of the raglan shaping.

I knit the hood 13” wide instead of 14” wide per Sirdar #4795. I cast on 15 sts each side instead of 17 sts for 58 sts total instead of 62 sts.

I added Snowflake button bands and hood edging per Sirdar #4795. For the button bands I picked up 52 sts per the 6-12 month size.

For the hood border I picked up 82 sts: 32 sts each side, 18 sts across top.

I made two 2.5” pom-poms using my Clover pom-pom maker.

I used five 7/8” buttons from Hobby Lobby.
