Notes

I cast on for the 9-12 months age.
I’ll make it a bit longer in the body.
I’m slow and my knitting is bad, my excuse is the one yr old trying to ‘help’ by pulling the yarn etc.
6th Aug. have finished each piece and sewn the raglan sleeves.
I just took a photo and now I can see how this could be done in the round.
I just have to finish seaming then get her to model it.
There are a few faults but I decided not to frog and redo as it looks ok and will keep her warm.

7th Aug: Finished but has turned out too big.
The neckline falls off her shoulders and the sleeves are too long.

Way too big for my 15 month old, it falls off her shoulders.
Fits my 4.5yr old nicely as a 3/4 length sleeve top but she wont wear it as “its too scratchy”…grr
Maybe with a skivvy underneath she’ll wear it.
