I used an Aran weight, which yielded a larger size.
I knitted the yoke as planned by the pattern, then I continued in rounds.
I gave it a little more length.
So the little girl who will receive it as a birth gift can wear it as a dress in a soon future, and later as a tunica or sweater.
The hat will follow; unfortunately, I ran out of yarn.
Update: the hat is finished as well.
