Baby Raglan

I did this project to knit a top-down sweater with no sewing.
I finished this last night.  It turned out okay,  the sleeves are a bit short and that makes me want to knit another one to do better.  I think I will ignore that impulse.




But now I have leftover yarn and need to find a hat pattern that will go with it so I have another project to do.  I am knitting with much smaller needles than I usually do.  It also took more than a week as I was also knitting on my afghan.  No sewing done at all.


What I learned:
1. The small needles didn't bother me.
2. The top down knitting is really easy.
3. No seam sewing is great!!!!
4. I would repeat this style for babies or children's sweaters.
5. I don't think I would like it for myself though I am considering it for "My Mom's Yarn" project.
