Notes

A little stripey sweater for Willow using the basic seamless yoke blueprint from Ann Budd’s Top Down Sweater book. It only goes down to a 26” size so I followed the numbers for the next gauge down to make around 24” finished. In hindsight it’s too small and I should have just made the 26” - oh well, next time!

Both yarns were held double, and I changed colour each six rows with a jogless stripe - it’s slightly visible but not enough to bother me. I also added a buttoned opening at the center back neck to make the sweater easier to put on over a big toddler noggin ;)
