Last fall on Instagram I asked my followers to vote on which yarn I should use to design a sweater for my second child. The majority voted for some Fyberspates Vivacious DK that just so happens to match his eyes. I've just released the resulting pattern -- The Dog Ate My Homework.
I call this one The Dog Ate My Homework because so often as knitters we get hung up on knitting the sleeves. This pattern gives you the look of a set-in sleeve without having to knit them separately and ease them in. Instead you pick up stitches around the armhole and use short-rows to create the sleeve cap. Then all you have to do is knit the sleeves down to the wrist.
The pattern comes in sizes from Newborn to 10 years. It's shown here in a size 2 on a small 2.5 year old. The smallest three sizes (Newborn - 12 months) include a button placket to account for the larger head circumference.
