Tomten for a newborn
Or at least I hope it's sized for a newborn-ish baby!
I used Lanett Superwash in sky blue (about 2.25 balls) and white (less than half a ball.)
Final measurements are: 17" chest (laid flat) 5.5" hem to underarm, 6" cuff to underarm, 9.5" hem to top shoulder, 20.75" arm span
Knit at a gauge of 26 sts/56 rows = 4" in garter on size US3 (3.25mm) needles
I'm a little disappointed about how the I-cord turned out, but overall I'm happy with it. I think I may have attached it improperly, but what the heck. I don't think the baby will care! :-)
