Gauge Sweater

Some people knit a gauge swatch to ensure an accurate fit - I do an entire sweater instead!

I wanted to make a baby gift and found a fun pattern online. Using the suggested yarn and needle size I quickly whipped up a sweater that would fit a healthy 2-year old. Finding a pair of needles 2 sizes smaller, same yarn, makes a sweater for a 1-year old. A dolly will have a new sweater when I reduced the number of stitches by 1/4. I don't know what I adjusted for sweater #4, but I think it will fit perfectly!

Elise Michelle Day

This blessing dress is for sweet little Elise. I always looked forward to baby blessings - they are a very special day indeed. I love the important part that the priesthood plays in that day and I am grateful to have my handwork be a special part in the celebration as well. If you check through some previous posts, you will see that this is blessing outfit #4!
