Child's Placket Sweater
Chocolate is modeling a new baby sweater knit from a pattern in Last Minute Knitted Gifts. The original pattern was published with so many errors that they released a full corrected version online.
I used Knitpicks' Shine Worsted yarn in a luscious pumpkin orange (really 23809 "sunflower"). Alas, the pictures here do not quite do the color justice. This is a size 1-2 years, knit on size seven circulars and DPNs. I wound up using 3.5 balls, instead of 3, so it may be a little big. Looks proportional, though, so it should fit Miss G at some point in her life.
Overall, very cute. Raglan sleeves are easy-peasy. Who knew?
It is a good thing that Chocolate is an excellent sport about all of this modeling. Some boys get quite touchy about having their picture taken.

Love the sweater! I made Claire one out of some dark red cotton ribbon from the yarn store downtown. Not very babylike but I loved it anyway!
And last night we found an October restaurant - like a Malay Lakehouse!
