Notes

Test knitting the 6-12 month size in a very cool self-Fair Isle patterning yarn! (Miriam is a week shy of 6 months and wears 6-9 month clothing in the picture.)

While the sweater fits great and I still really love this yarn, I find the construction to be more complicated than it needs to be. Every piece is knit separately (back, front, arms, collar, and front placket) and then seamed together at the end. When I think raglan sweater, I typically think of a top down, no seaming, sweater. However, if you are terrified of circular needles, or enjoy the extra effort of seaming, this is a fabulous pattern with great fit!
