Notes

Nov 26
Such a cute pattern! Had some difficulty understanding the pattern at first, but the designer kindly set me on the right track, and now am off & rolling. It works up quickly & I’m almost done with the right back already!

Nov 27
Well boo…I was making the 4 for my 3.5 year old, but holding it up to her, I think it will fit her now but not much room to grow, so I’m frogging & starting over with the size 6.

Nov 30
Entire back & one front done already! Wow, peanut size sweaters move quickly. Glad I switched to the 6. Width may be a bit large but the length matches a similar style fleece jacket she has. Hoping she can get at least two winters use out of it, as the fabric is stretchy. I can add rows to arms & hem too, one of the things I like about this pattern, but adding width would be harder!

Dec 2
Second front done & attached, all ends thus far woven in. Think I may add bands before sleeves, & work sleeves in the round to avoid any more seams. If I can finish this tomorrow it will have only taken me one week!

Finished collar & 1/2 of bottom band before bedtime. Having to crochet very loosely on the bottom to avoid gathering it in too much. Turning out so cute!

Dec 3
Bottom band & front bands done/ ends woven. Just needs sleeves & buttons.

Dec 4
Finished sleeve 1, bought buttons.

Dec 6
Finished sleeve 2

Dec 7
Buttons sewn! Done!! & DD won’t wear it or let me take a picture. She’s 3…hopefully she’ll like it tomorrow. She had seemed excited….
