Notes

This is seriously one of my most favorite things I ever knit! Obsessed with the yarn (and that YELLOW especially) and the pattern was great. Only complaint for the pattern is that the body seems way too long at all sizes.

Received yarn and cast on today for the 6-12 month size. The yarn is absolutely beautiful!! The colors are bright, yarn super soft and squishy. I only wish there was a little more contrast between the two teals, but oh well. So happy I snagged the remaining 4 skeins of the yellow too as it appears to be discontinued.

Finished the sweater today. Knit up super fast. I used the invisible ribbed bind off for the neckline.

Weaving in ends and blocking. Can’t wait to see the yoke after it’s been blocked!!

I will say, just looking at the sweater, it seems a little large for the 6-12 month size. I don’t have a baby to try it on though. I think the body seems too long in comparison to the sleeves and looking at other people’s project photos, the body also looks extra long. I may rip out some rows and graft the ribbing back on.
