Notes

This is a terrific pattern - I would totally recommend it to anyone who has boys. Besides being very classically cute…ummm, I mean handsome ;)…it is also completely seamless ~ I could seriously kiss the designer for not making me sew :)

I sized down on my needles by two sizes attempting to get a smaller fit as my son is a 3T/ 4T right now and the smallest pattern instructions are for 4-6. I was able to bring the width down 1.5 inches, and I shortened the length and sleeves accordingly. Unfortunately the sleeves still came out too long and I probably should have left the original length for the larger size as it seems a tiny bit short. Next time I think I will eliminate one row between decreases on the sleeves and lengthen the torso. I will definitely be making this again (and again!)!

(photos taken after a trip through the washer and dryer - love this yarn :)

My Measurements:
Width: 25” circumference
Shoulder to hem: 15”
Length of sleeve: 15”
