Yarn: Koigu Kpppm (2 skeins) & Louet Gems (less than half a skein)

Pattern: Free! Go here.

This is my first garment, I’m thrilled by how well it turned out. I’m having a hard time giving it up (selfish). Although I have no babies, it looks great on my stuffed animals, and I’ve become accustomed to seeing it everyday.

There were a few mistakes in the pattern that anyone wanting to make this should know about.

1) For the right sleeve, right side of the cuff, it says repeat rows 9-12 once. You should be repeating rows 9-12 from the left sleeve, left side of cuff, with the following modifications. For rows 10 and 12 you will knit 5, purl to end, for row 11 you will inc in 1st st, knit to end instead of: Knit to last 2 sts, inc in next st, k1.

2) I have to give my pro-knitter mom the credit for this one. In the collar directions it says: K18[19:18:22] sts (in next st, k1) 5[5:6:6] times, (inc in next st) twice, (k1, inc in next st) 5[5:6:6] times, k18[19:18:22]. What it should say is:K18[19:18:22] sts; (inc 1 st in next st, k1), 5[5:6:6] times, (inc in next stitch) twice, (k1, inc 1 st. in next stitch) 5 [5:6:6] times(for a total of 14 stitches increased), Knit 18[19:18:22].

Time to stop doting over this project and send it off to the new baby!
