Baby Sweater from Knitter’s Almanac - The Swatch
Swatching is complete for the baby sweater from Knitter’s Almanac. Mostly I wanted to see what size I’d end up with using size 4 circs. I inherited my grandmother’s stash of acrylic yarns. There weren’t that many, but this white baby yarn was in there, so I used it since it’s similar in size to the superwash merino I want to use for the actual sweater. I plan to sew a little tie of satin ribbon at the neckline, and possibly do snaps down the front. I may just leave the front open though.
It seems to fit it’s recipient (my Madame Alexander doll “Timmie” from circa 1961). She doesn’t mind that it’s “plastic.” She’s vinyl so she’s not a yarn snob.
