Ravelry.
Youngest Granddaughter wasn't home to try it on, but I'm guessing if it does fit, it won't for long, even though the measurements are right on. The chest measurement is about 3 inches bigger than her chest. If not, it'll go in a box off to Youngest Grandson.
I used a seaming technique I think I read about somewhere, but maybe I dreamed it and unvented it. I sewed the seams with a very, very loose whip stitch and then crocheted the loose sts shut like one would crochet up a dropped stitch. Because of the multicolors of the sweater, I used black as an accent, but if one used it on a one color item, the seams would be slightly visible, and again, it would look like an accent.
Lizzie, it is gorgeous. I like that you did the collar that way. Wish you had taken pics of how you finished the seams. I think this is your "masterpiece" thus far.

Cute seam accent!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is just beautiful! You did a fabulous job, and I like the sound of your creative seaming (plus it doesn't sound so much like sewing...)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at Disneyland!!
