Notes

(Part 2) Seed Stitch Yoke Cardi of a baby shower gift set


(Part 1) Rolled Edge Cap
(Part 3) Flower Stitch Booties


Got height gauge with 6s and stitch per inch gauge at slightly smaller, so I’m going with size 6s.

I’m thinking of using gray as an accent color similar to the yellow in cisknitter’s cardigan.

1st sleeve finished on 4/13 with 54 rounds total
2nd sleeve finished 4/14
Body started 4/15
Yoke onward 4/18
Went ahead and grafted the arms. Knitting with all of those stitch holders was really uncomfortable. Also, I was using DPNs, so that probably made it worse.
Finished body 4/20 need button bands and buttons. Thinking of adding I-cord edging around the bottom of the body and sleeves.
Idk why that one picture came out with the gray looking green. Also pictured, possible buttons. Not sure exactly what I’ll do.


Need to block and add buttons. I don’t know why, but that part always takes the longest. I’ve needed to add the buttons for longer than it took to knit the whole thing.

Finally added buttons! Need to block, but I’m pretty satisfied with this!
