Baby Sundial Sweater
PATTERN OUT NOW!
Original test call:
Deadline: 29th August 2023
I AM SO EXCITED to bring you my first ever baby pattern!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH! If you're used to knitting adult size garments this will be such a fun knit and it'll go so quickly, well it would if you didn't stop to admire how cute it is every 5 minuets.
Unlike my other test knits I am not going to request on body photos as I know that not everyone is comfortable sharing photos of their kids on social media / in general, I would of course still like feedback on the fit and would be happy to share photos of tiny cute little humans if you want to provide them.
