Mods: I chose to make the body a full 15″ from cast on edge to the point where you join the sleeves at the underarm. I am very glad I did!
I also lengthened the sleeves a lot; I made the 19.25″ and then joined them to the body.

Overall I am very, very pleased with this sweater!

I have worn it everyday since finishing it, does that say something??

I was planning on making a Chinese Waves Dishcloth and once started I decided that it would make the perfect cozy. So, I increased along the edges 3 times and made 3 simple buttonholes along one side by yo, k2tog and voila! Finished cup cozy.

This is some random black washable yarn I had. I used my Single Crochet Beanie pattern to whip this one out. I would say it’s a 12 month size. So, that makes 3 hats, 3 sizes for the Baby Shower!

This is Bernat Cashmere on size 6 needles. I cast on 25, did 6 wrapped sts. This thing is tiny. Perfect for a newborn babe though.

I used HelloYarn’s Generic skull chart to make Tyler this hat. The gauge is much bigger so I did 3 repeats of the pattern instead of 4, casting on 96 sts. I also had to shorten it, I did 2 repeats of skulls instead of 3 and then added more to the brim of the hat to make it the length he likes.

Woolease in Gold & Black on size 7 knitpicks 40″ needles, magic loop method.

Surprisingly, this only took me about 4 hours to knit.

This is a Christmas gift, single crochet beanie. I used more of the Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends yarn in sky, brown & natural.

I used Malabrigo Worsted in Cactus Flower on size 6 Harmony Wood needles. I did 4 repeats of the chart for height but I think I should have done 5. After it’s done blocking it may be long enough. I have it stretched out pretty tightly on that styrofoam head drying.
