Also I added the extra increase row before dividing for the sleeves - was this incorrect. <br />Thank youSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124245285759292189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-33457350345914891842013-09-10T19:46:53.420-05:002013-09-10T19:46:53.420-05:00Hi Cambria. Sizing up is something you can do for ...Hi Cambria. Sizing up is something you can do for yourself! Size is not about the number of stitches, but about the measurement of the finished piece and the person you're trying to fit. Take a tape measurer and measure around your daughter's chest at the widest part. Add about 2 inches of ease, and that's the target you're shooting for. Measure her arms from the armpit to the wrist, and you have sleeve length. As you knit, try it on her to see if it's long enough. Getting the right size is all about being flexible and making it fit the person it's intended for - no matter what the pattern says! I am working on a how-to post about sizing any pattern to fit, so keep an eye out for that! Happy knitting!f. peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155602459175649458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-69222049494534603752013-09-10T12:51:33.966-05:002013-09-10T12:51:33.966-05:00I made this for my youngest daughter but now she h...I made this for my youngest daughter but now she has outgrown your sizing and I can't find anything quite like it. Your sizes don't follow a consistent amount of stitches larger per size so I cannot even make it up! Can you pretty please make larger sizes available?! She's in a 4T now! ;) Cambria Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190349225418801298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-14126430029550384062012-09-14T04:08:41.695-05:002012-09-14T04:08:41.695-05:00Hello F.

I wanted to make a sweater for my new granddaughter, who is due any minute, but in the 4ply area of my stash I could only find single or partial singular balls of left-overs from making sweaters for my daughters when they were young. I knew fair-isle was a possibility, but thought it would not really suit a tiny baby. Their fingers would get stuck in the strands, and it would be too heavy.Molly Loves Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933947603420338466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-41281942474918871542010-04-24T14:18:16.967-05:002010-04-24T14:18:16.967-05:00Hi, I just made this lovely cardigan out of sock y...Hi, I just made this lovely cardigan out of sock yarn for my baby niece, and I posted a pic here http://dotsorstripes.blogspot.com/2010/04/choc-cherry-baby.html.
