let me tell you......... not only did I just get the sweater done in time... I got the sweater done with just enough yarn... LOL

You're very welcome. I love how it turned out. The hat makes it complete. Was that a little brim on it I saw? I think that'll make it more a boys outfit. Now, we just need a pic of him wearing it.

i did not post here but was following the call quite a while. it encouraged me to make caps and booties for my girls. i tried to make a cap from lion brand but it did not turned well:( as i have only one yarn hook (3.5) and couldn't find the one that needed. [generally i work with thread and have steel hooks] so the cap which i finally made is a helmet.

 

the another cap i made for my little nephew.

[Island Girl]

They're both nice. I like them.

Started my 1st BICO (actually doing 3 @ once) Sunday. Using Deb Norville Serinity yarn. got to go back & get another ball of each, Thot I'd have enuf, but doing the 12 month size. Got 3/4 way thru w/ the body on 2 BICOs in 4 hours each (I'm slow). Am right proud of myself; never thot I could make a wearable. Looking forward to posting pics when done (have to wait for payday).

[mclendon1]

OK, I think I messed up, & I don't have my camera. FRONT: before finishing edge, are both sides supposed to just meet, or overlap (a little? or a lot?)?

 

On row 28 I'm only getting 12 stitches (6mo) not 18; I've counted & recounted everything before it.

 

It looks right, if they are not suppoed to overlap.

Don't worry about it at all. if it does not meet when you do your trim rows (and it usually does) you can do a couple more rows along the front to make it work out. This is just fun so don't let it bother you.

 

On your next one, we can maybe walk you through it if need be but don't fuss

thanks Darski! I've got to get another skien for each of the boy's this w/e, then finish off the edging, then I'll post pics.

Help! The pattern link in the original post is not working! I'd really like to try this sweater for my friend's upcoming baby!

[darski]

This one works. I have had three links for this thing over time.

The surest method of getting a good link is by going to CPC and looking at baby clothing

[ratdog]

Thanks! I got it!

[Island Girl]

Darski, I have a question. I know this pattern calls for two strands of yarn held together. Thats what makes it warm for wearing in cold weather. But what if I live on an Island where it can get hot during the day? Could this still be done with only one strand of yarn and would it still come out okay? I have made this before and my oldest brother took it back to Georgia with him for his GD which is okay since it does get cold there. That was two years ago. I'd like to make this again for a niece who's due date is christmas day. We'll have a hot and sunny christmas here. She already knows she'll have a boy. It's her first baby. I'd like to start one as soon as possible. Thanks.

the first one I made was with a single strand of yarn. It is fine and it goes just about as fast with only one strand. again just work your gauge to the measurements with some ease added in.

I will be happy to work out the math with you if you are not sure how it works.

 

Just pick your colour and your hooks and have at it

[Island Girl]

Wow, that was a quick answer. Thanks Darski. I have to get ready for work right now. Let me find my yarn first then I'll holler back at you if you don't mind. It'll be nice if the baby wears it home from the hospital.

I have my swatch, and my guage, and it looks like I'll be using Patons Wool. The squish and drape factor are lovely.

 

Now the joy of looking for colors.

Ah yes... we must suffer for our art. It's so brave of you to face all those colours in all that yarn

 

I'm actually green with envy :dreaming

[Island Girl]

So am I. I don't have that much selection or colors.
