Notes

Needs blocking and a button still.

Many Thanks to Carrie - IrishGirlieKnits - who gifted me this pattern as a prize in a KAL.

Pattern gauge is 24 st = 4 inches. My gauge on 3.75 is too large, so using 3.5 mm. Still a bit above gauge, so knitting 12 month size to be a bit larger. Avery is petite.

  • As suggested by other projects, I worked rows 11 and 12 of lace pattern after garter ridge to set up columns and leave some space.
  • did 4 1/2 repeats.
  • finished first skein with 1 sleeve to go.
  • decided against crochet down the fronts, as it doesn’t roll, and there is already garter at the back of the neck.

No schematic included. Mine was 10 inches at garter band across chest, and underarm to hem 7.5 inches. After blocking, 11 inches across chest and 8.5 inches side measurement.
