This sweater was knit for Anna Rosemary~
Pattern is In Threes: a Baby Cardigan by Kelly Herdrich. (Ravelry Link)
Yowza is still my favorite, favorite yarn.
Gauge on a size 7 was 5 st/in. and 7.25 rows/in.
Buttons are old, from my gram's button stash.
I modified the pattern by adding long sleeves with a K1P1 cuff.
Size is 0-6 months...
Here is a view of the back~
And the back of the yoke...
Very sweet.
Stay tuned for photos of Anna Rosemary (who is a mere 2 weeks old!) modeling the sweater.
Do you mind sharing how you did the long sleeves? I have made this pattern several times. And each time I kept thinking if there is a way to make longer sleeves?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance!
Hi Becky!
ReplyDeleteI actually FOUND my notes, nothing short of a miracle since it's been five years...
Sleeves- 6.5 inches long.
~ pick up & knit 27 st and 7 underarm stitches (34 total)
~ mark center of underarm stitches for decreases
~ knit 5 rnd normally
~ dec at marked stitch ...dec every 3rd round until 24 st remain (I assume I did a K2tog/ssk decrease each dec round- so dec 2, I did not specify this in my notes)
~ knit normal until sleeve measures 4.5 inches
~ k1p1 rib for 2 inches
~ bind off loosely
Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!
