Notes

Bought mill ends of Red Heart Super Saver from this great guy on ebay brianw104

Usually I make the Tomten in DK or finer. This time I used worsted weight - I made the sleeves longer by about two or three inches to fit a growing 5 year old.

I used a base of 80 stitches to get gauge on 5.5 mm needles. Worked like a charm!
