Notes

I love this design. It is fun to make.
It takes some time to work up but is worth it.
It is practical and adorable.

Ms. Chorzepa, the designer of this sweater, adapted it for crochet:
Easy Layering Poncho.

Grandson, a crystal enthusiast, chose this color because it is similar to amethyst.

Adapted this design into a bigger size: age 6 - 8.
I’ve made it twice before in age 4 - 6 size.
One ball of Ice Cream Big Scoop is enough for the popover as written in size 1 & 2.

As before, I made shaped arm openings for the back and front pieces. Made sleeves with upper arm shaping and shallow sleeve caps.

This is a very good yarn for kids’ garments.
Colors are beautiful and the yarn is resilient.

Surprisingly, I have a different gauge this time: stitches a little bigger than before.

Used yarn, directly off the skein, for main sections.
Used specific color sections for hood and sleeves.
