Followed instructions for the newborn size using a sport-weight (I think!) yarn and larger needles. I wanted a 3-6 month and I think I got it.

I don’t generally knit with acrylic, but this stuff was a dollar a skein and so beautifully soft and had a bit of a shimmer. A little splitty, but not too bad.

For my friend’s first Grandson, way up in Canada…
