Notes

Lucy is ~15” at the chest right now and I’m hoping not to knit a whole wardrobe of these sweaters before she’s grown. So I opted for the XS and a slightly bigger gauge. We’ll see how long this one fits!

I also added a hole for her harness: on the first full round after rejoining the chest & back, I worked K2tog, YO, YO, SSK in the middle of the back stitches. On the following round, I worked the first YO as a knit and the 2nd as a purl. It works!

and as before, I worked a round of single crochets on the leg openings in lieu of picking up stitches and working a leg.

Also - yay for deep stash!
