Notes

This is a quick little knit that works well in Sirdar Snuggly. The only faff is weaving in a lot of ends once you get to the part where you are no longer carrying the yarn between stripes.

I could not be bothered to check my gauge, so although I knitted the 3-month size, my sweater will probably fit more like a 6 - 12 month baby!

Only slight misgiving is that I think the shoulders are too deep and sloped… if I made this again I would be tempted to decrease for the neck a lot earlier and lose one of the upper stripes.

Edit: Just a note to say that this sweater turned out to be a perfect fit when baby got to 8 months! The yarn is really lovely and silky against baby skin, and the slope of the shoulders was not a problem after all. :-)
