Notes

Love this design with the lacy, circular yoke. Perfect for summer in this 100% cotton yarn from Hobbii. I’m knitting this for my sweet former next door neighbor. There will be a little top for her infant son using the same yarn/color.

This busy Mom needs garments that can be machine washed and dried. I preshrunk this in a warm dryer. It shrank about 1 inch in width and 2 inches in length, but I did allow for this in the sizing. It came out of a warm dryer, wrinkle free.

Note that I eliminated the eyelet holes under the main lace yoke area.

Needles used:

Size 2 US - Body
Size 1.5 US - Bottom and sleeve 1 x 1 ribbing
Size 3 US - Cast on row only

Bound of using JSSBO with size 1.5 US needle.

She has an interesting way of purling. I like it!
