A very quick and rewarding knit. I modified the pattern, knitted the back, two sides and sleeves separately only to the armhole then together through the raglan decreases. I did this in order to keep an opening on one side in which to sew one end of the bias band.

I have made many shawls with Miss Babs’ Yummy 2-Ply and once again, the yarn didn’t disappoint; soft but not limp, silky, vibrant color. I used one whole skein and a few yards from another.

I found the Libertys of London bias tape online at jonesandvandermeer.com

French sizes run small and I expect a size 1-year sweater to fit the recipient long before her first birthday.
