Notes

Yipes, stripes! I love them!

Using up the very last of my Cotton-Ease stash, acquired many years ago. It’s knitting up beautifully. I accidentally knit the collar with size 7 needles instead of 6, but will remember to use size 6 for the cuffs, bottom hem, and button bands.

The sizing is very generous. I have a feeling that our little guy won’t fit into this at 3 months, but we’ll see! Maybe we’ll have a real bruiser.

The proportion of the arms seems a little off -- they’re very wide. I’ll report back once our little guy actually wears it.

UPDATE: Yep, sizing and proportions are totally off on this one, though I take the blame since I didn’t check my gauge. Photos are of my little guy wearing it at 18 months. Still pretty wide on him, but it’s sort of a crop-top look, and the sleeves are too short, too. Love the color combo still, and the yarn is holding up nicely.
