Yes, it's a bit big for her and the sleeves are rolled up two times, but I'm so happy that she insisted on wearing it this morning :) The pattern is from Ann Budd's multiple gauge pattern book, and the only deviation this time was not as many decreases as called for due to the bulkiness of the yarn. This is the second smallest child's size - I think 26" chest, and it took a little less than 3 skeins of Lion Brand Thick and Chunky yarn.
How come she looks like she could do nothing bad??

ReplyDeleteThat is perfect! It'll last a long while! Love the color! Nice work there! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something so satisfying about a quick knit! I'm getting ready to start a small baby sweater. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is right! It's like you have a little angel living with you. The sweater is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color! Nothing is a better compliment than a child who loves their handknits-- great job :)
