Pattern Notes:
Pattern
A really fun (and quick) knit! I think I finished one sweater within one (full) afternoon. Fiddling with size 1 needles was interesting at first (it's the smallest I've ever worked with thus far!) but after awhile, I got the hang of it. Too bad I discovered this pattern so late in the season, or then I would have made a bunch of these to give away for gifts!! But I enjoyed the pattern alot, and will definately keep this for future gifts (baby showers, etc.) as well.
Yarn
I used leftover sock yarn (the pattern asks for fingering to sport weight yarn). The self-striping aspect of Magic Stripes made the mini-sweaters look so cute! I'm very happy with it. =)
