Teddy's Cowboys Sweater

[practicaldragonz]

Two weeks ago my dog (whose name is Ted E. Bear) got hold of my stuffed teddy bear, tore his pretty red ribbon off, and chewed off his eyes. I decided that poor teddy needed a new shirt. I found a pattern for a Pullover Sweater for Babies, at Kelly's blog page, I adapted it and made Teddy a new sweater. I am posting it here with permission from Kelly (who told me she wants to make a couple for her dad & brother). So Kelly, here's to you and your great baby sweater pattern!

 

The sweater pattern can be found at: http://bellabambinaknits.blogspot.com/2007/04/pullover-sweater-for-babies.html

 

My changes are as follows:

Rows 9-15: Ch 3 Do not turn, work in rounds now,dc in each dc around, join.

Rnd 16: ch 1 sc around, join. Fasten off.

 

Sleeves
