NOTES:

Gauge: 5.25spi on 3.75mm needles blocked

I think I forgot to switch needle sizes when I did the hat because I am getting 6spi blocked.

Sleeves - Did 35 stockinette rows before starting the ribbing. Did 8 rows of sleeve ribbing. After measuring against a baby, the sleeves were the exact length of the baby’s arm. I would add 1” next time, though.

I didn’t like the binding off of the underarm and then sewing it up later. Next time I will add one stitch to the body and one stitch to the arm.

I ADORE this yarn! Very soft and easy to knit with. Has a lovely texture.

The hat is the Baby Bright Hat.
