Sock Sweater, He Is Finished!




The pooling doesn't look so bad in the photos.


This is the sweater front.








And here is the sweater back.

To recap: Ann Budd's raglan from her Handy Book of Sweater Patterns in a 26" chest. This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up.

The Yarn: Lion Magic Stripes. I got a bargain. The yarn for this sweater cost $3.98 (2 balls--100 grams each--at $1.99 each). The color is called Sea Blue Pattern.

I used size 3 and 4 (US) needles.





And for those keeping score, here's what was left. Thirty-eight grams.

So, 3-50 gram balls would not be enough. Two 100 gram balls would be, though I don't think there's enough left for matching socks.

It was fun, relatively mindless.

You might be able to get a preemie hat from the leftovers. Just think out cute a tiny baby would look in a hat knit from that yarn.
