Lacy Sweater

I have finally finished my Lacy Sweater (Ravelry link) for little E's 1st birthday.  It was made in Berroco Comfort DK in a red cherry color.  I loved working with this yarn!  Here is a picture of my FO and my notes.

First off, I made this on a size 8 needles instead of a size 6. The only reason for that is due to the fact that I thought I was using my 6 but was actually using my 8.

I didn’t like the reverse stocknette, so I did it in regular stocknette. I added a 1 row purl border before the flower and 1 stitch on each side (17 stitch flower motif).

I didn’t like the lace bottom. Originally, I was going to skip it totally and added an extra eyelet row. My sweater ended up too short.

So I added a row of leaf edging which I found here.

I also did not add the eyelet row on the collar or the sleeves.

I love this project so much that part of me wants to keep it... if only I had a little girl to dress.

You can also find my project via Ravelry here.
