2/11 She wears this all the time & the peace fleece is wonderful- warm, rugged & no pills! If I were to knit this again, though, I would start with the actual cast on number from the pattern. The neck has stretched out quite a lot & tends to slip off her shoulder. I put a single crochet stitch around the edge which helped a lot, but the neck is still quite wide.

Custom made cherry wood buttons from South4th Woodcraft. They make beautiful shawl pins, too!

Just need buttons & loops sewn on!
11/7 Knitting finished. Need to weave in ends & add button loops, duplicate & decorative stitching in hot pink. It’s really large, so I will be felting it (as much as PF felts, anyway). Should be a very warm & cozy sweater coat when finished!

I’ve had this pattern in my fav’s for probably two years now-- better knit it up before the girlie is grown! This will be her fall sweater coat. Super easy so far & knitting up fast!
