There were some pattern details that I didn’t really like with the pink baby sweater, so I decided to make it following my adaptation of the adult sweater pattern. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Between the stretchiness in the yarn and the fact that it’s basically knit in ribbing, I’m hoping that it will have a relatively large window of use. I think the body circumference can not quite double with stretching, so the limit will probably be on arm/body length and not felting it. The yarn is sport weight: SugarBush Bliss, 70% Extra Fine Superwash Merino/20% Mulberry Silk/10% Cashmere and machine washable. It was lovely to work with and feels all squishy and soft.
I really don’t think there’s much I’d change if I were to knit this one again. I wasn’t quite sure what size I was aiming for when I started, and made things up a fair amount as I was going along. The shawl collar itself is the bit I’m the most dissatisfied with, mostly because it doesn’t want to cooperate when I’m taking pictures, and it slightly distorts the ribbing/cables, though I think that will disappear entirely when someone is actually wearing the sweater. I’m really looking forward to seeing what it looks like on!
