Notes

A bespoke sweater for my sister for her Christmas gifting this December (2020).

Had to fiddle with needle sizes to get the proper gauge. Nephew’s chest is 53.5 cms or 21.06 inches. I made him a size 4 (28 inches) so he can grow into it later.

I hate intarsia. Too fiddly. Here’s the compromise: intarsia for the bus and wheels with duplicate stitch on top for the windows, stripes and hubcaps. That works and looks good.

Measurements:
13 3/4 “ wide, 14 1/2” long (from shoulder). Sleeves 10” long
