Beautiful sweater and thank you, but I have one question. How does the body circumference for the 12 month size (middle size) end up only 21"? At a body of 150 stitches and a gauge of 23sts/4inch in stockinette, I get around 26". If there is about an inch overlap and an inch lost in the draw up of the cabling, I still calculate about 24" circumference. Am I missing something reading this pattern?

I am a new member and love the look of this sweater. someone mentioned wanting items for older children. I plan on adjusting this pattern for my 7yr and 5 yr old grand-daughters. By knowing their body measurements, and the gauge for the pattern rows and stitches can be added. I will also adjust for the neck measurement. Hope it works!! tks for a great website!

I tried to download but my computer said there was an error, never had this happen on one of your patterns. It is a beautiful sweater and I have the perfect yarn in my stash. Pat, DM Iowa

Hi Janice, You might be able to get away with a little less than 500. If I remember correctly (I'm not sure) but I don't' think I used a lot of the 4th ball to knit this sweater, but it is needed. Even that one little cable sucks up more yarn than you would think! Rebecca

does it really use 500 yards of baby alpaca ? That seems like a great deal for such a small sweater. it is so pretty. I am going to make one for my grandchild

So cute! Don't apologize for using a "warm" yarn for a summer baby; don't most US babies spend a lot of time in air conditioning in the summer? People fuss about that all the time, forgetting how we live nowadays. A baby can't get another cover if she's chilly, so better to have the ability to keep her comfortable.

This pattern is just gorgeous and i am jealous of the people who have a baby to knit for. Now, for we grandmas who have 5 year old boys and 7 year old girls to knit for, how about an heirloom type pattern for them. Seems all the patterns are either for babies or adults. HELP! thanks. ep

Very sweet, but readers might consider using a knit-on bobble button or hook and eye to avoid the potential choking hazard of the button.
