Kindly modeled by big sister Andromeda, on whom it is a tad small but looks amazing! (Andromeda's is next on the agenda.)

Notes

I cast this on the day CJ was born, having just finished Annie’s sweater. My plan is to knit matching sweaters for Annie, CJ, and Andromeda, plus a cowl or hat for Lucy, so the whole family can go out in matching knitwear.

05-08-2025

As I started weaving in the ends I realized I’d knit 2/2 ribbing at the bottom and 1/1 at the neck and cuffs. So I’ll frog the neck and cuffs, because I really do prefer 2/2 ribbing. I can’t think why I made this mistake!!
