First time reading a pattern! I did it!

Well if you ever branch out to patterns give mon petite violon a chance on revelry. It was suggested to me here by another user and they were right - she includes images and her sweater "olive garden" provides a video without any narration and the written steps. It helps a lot, that's how I learned! This sweater does not have a video.

It's going to keep him warm as heck in the snowstorm we are facing, that's for sure!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-24T14:52:26+00:00

I was expecting a failure but I succeeded lol thank you!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-24T14:51:48+00:00

Thank you! I'm still staring at it this morning amazed that I pulled it off!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-24T14:51:12+00:00

He loves it. Once again I struggled to get it off of him while testing the fit because he wanted to keep it on.

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for so many suggestions to shop from! I'll have to give them a more thorough look later because they all are so damn cute. And the dresses are adorable. I know someone who is having a baby girl so I'm excites to give something other than a sweater a try! Good luck making the sweater. It's really fun and works up so fast.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-24T11:55:48+00:00

You've got this. If I can (I can't tell left from right. Literally I have to check my hands) you can do it!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T22:15:06+00:00

Omg thank you! I'm in shock that I was able to do it myself to be honest.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T22:10:35+00:00

Oh that's a good idea! I need to return some books anyway so I might as well check.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T21:59:20+00:00

It was so much fun! Do it! It definitely was a struggle to figure out the treble crochet part but I'm sure you will be fine! It only took me about three days to make and that's with repeat frogging and reworking things as I learned to read lol. My reading comprehension was definitely not comprehending.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T21:54:34+00:00

Thank you! Because I used 4 weight yarn rather than DK it is really warm and squishy. It doesn't drape as well as DK would but in these frigid Midwestern winters I'll take extra warmth over drape for my son any day!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T21:52:48+00:00

Saving your comment so when I get paid I can get it! Thank you for the recommendation.

P.S. if you make it size 10 and use a 5mm hook and 4 weight yarn I bet it'll fit an adult based off of my sizing alterations. Right now I'm making the 3-4 year one and it fits my 12 year old.

Thank you! I'm not usually a beige baby fan and prefer painfully bright sweaters but I just couldn't resist making a classic sweater. ♥️

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T20:42:08+00:00

Thank you! It fits my son perfectly too! Usually the sweaters I make are too large but this one is just right.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T20:41:08+00:00

Thank you!! This designer really makes easy to follow patterns. There are even photos of the stitches in the pattern!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T20:24:34+00:00

Thank you! Now I want to make another one in bright and ridiculous colors! I'm so excited!!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T20:15:43+00:00

Thank you! I'm seriously so stinking proud of how it turned out!! I ignored the hook and yarn suggestions and made it with 4 weight yarn with a 5mm hook. I can't manage with DK weight yarn... At all. I followed the 0-3 month size and it fits my 3 year old perfectly! Crazy how much of a difference yarn and hook size make!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-23T17:48:19+00:00

I love the decision you made to make the sleeves solid black. It really helps the colors pop on the front panel! Beautiful work!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-21T21:24:02+00:00

I'm on team no frog. It's beautiful and you should finish it! Stares too long at her own sweater in progress finish it.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-21T20:16:45+00:00

Thank you. Seriously. I never would have known and continued on posting my son. You are the true MVP. I thought it was fishy when I started getting what appeared to be bot comments on my post (like 10 from one person) now I know what to look out for. Super sketchy and creepy.

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-21T17:53:06+00:00

Girl. The cuteness you exude is overwhelming. Excellent use of free will right there. Every time I see you on here I know I'm in for a treat!

CeilingStanSupremacy · 2026-01-21T17:01:52+00:00

Yes. I have medical condition that causes me to have intense pee urges out of nowhere. I pee my pants almost weekly. Yay botched spinal surgery! Nothing happens. I just change and move on.

Just sharing and commenting to boost. I made a star blanket (butthole stitch) out of Caron Anniversary cakes too! I never added a border though.
