Tiny sweater

Speaking of George Washington again, the picture at right is what he would look like if he was wearing a sweater.

I made this little item based on this pattern, but I made some alterations. It's small, fiddly work, but I really like how it turned out. It's a gift for Brims, who always wears stripes.

I'm still a new knitter, so I am trying to learn some new techniques with each project I do. This little sweater taught me how to love increase stitches!

Your blog is hilarious. Love the tiny sweater. I still have some that my mom knitted in the 60's for my "Midge" doll.

Thanks for reading! That sweater reached its recipient (in the middle of the Gulf) just a few days ago.
