Comments: This is, of course, my favorite baby sweater pattern. It turned out larger than the pattern sizing because I used a size 9 needle instead of size 6. I like it. The fabric is a little softer as a result.

The buttons came from my stash of antique buttons that I 'inherited' several years ago.
I made this sweater for Knit Wits (charity).

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern!! Your sweater came out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did you obtain the copyright for the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI tracked down the copyright owner and asked them for it. They said yes. They didn' t even want money. They said they had no interest in ever publishing it again so I could have it. It never hurts to ask. Sometimes the answer is yes.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looks great and I like it much better then the original, the orange works much better,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish; it looks wonderful! And thank you so much for asking for the copyright for "all of us". It's a great sweater pattern!
